Metro (West Yorkshire Passenger Transport Authority) provides bus and train information on its website, and offers the innovative My Next Bus service of real-time bus information by text message or online. This real-time information is also displayed in certain bus shelters.
First runs most of the bus services within Leeds, and if you are travelling by bus, the best option is to buy a "FirstDay" day ticket for £4.00 (M-F before 9:30AM) (which allows unlimited on First Bus within West Yorkshire all day) or £3.20 (other times) (which allows unlimited on First Bus within Leeds after 9:30AM and Weekends) . Public transport is good--most major bus routes within the city are every 10 min or so. Useful bus routes for visitors include the following:
CityBus - loops around much of the city centre every 6-7 minutes during the day, all passengers travel free of charge. If catching this service, it's best to do so at either the Bus Station or Rail Station; if a bus is full, it will not stop to take on more passengers and you can be waiting in excess of an hour at busy times. Please note that this bus is no longer free.
