To encourage people to try Transdev’s new express Cityzap Leeds-Manchester route, all one-way journeys will be just £1, until 11 November.
Cityzap picks up at Leeds City Bus Station and at Ainley Top for customers coming from Halifax and Huddersfield – and then runs along the M62 motorway to Manchester, dropping off in the heart of the city at Piccadilly Gardens next to the bus and Metrolink stations, and at Chorlton Street opposite the coach station.
CEO Alex Hornby says: “We’re very excited about this new route, which offers an excellent alternative to driving or going by train.
“We’ve already had a fantastic reaction from those who’ve been on board our new Cityzap express – people are saying they love the direct city centre to centre route, our comfortable buses packed with passenger-friendly facilities – and of course the amazing low fares.
“We know from the experience of our original Cityzap service between Leeds and York that there is a growing market amongst customers who are fed up paying high rail fares to travel on overcrowded trains, and drivers who face ever-rising fuel costs at the petrol station on top of the stress of motorway driving.
“They simply want to travel city to city in comfort, with simple fares available at a much more realistic price, and that’s exactly what Cityzap is all about.”
Cityzap runs hourly 0600-1830hrs weekdays, and 0900-1730hrs on Sundays.
Cityzap buses have comfortable coach leather seating, USB power at every seat, plus free 4G Wi-Fi.
