YORKSHIRE AND HUMBER BUS PASS

Early day motion 980, tabled 22 March 2005 by John Grogan (Labour). Signed by 14 members.

That this House welcomes the introduction of free off-peak local bus transport for pensioners and disabled bus users from April 2006; notes that many bus journeys in Yorkshire and the Humber cross county and district boundaries, for example Leeds to Scarborough and Wetherby to Harrogate; and calls on both South and West Yorkshire Passenger Transport executives, together with councils in the region, to commence negotiations to introduce a Yorkshire and the Humber-wide bus pass in April 2006.
