Many bus routes in West Yorkshire offer low-floor, easy-access buses. With more and more bus stops featuring raised kerbing too, it's never been easier to travel.
Our Easy Access leaflet tells you which bus services offer easy access vehicles.

Using easy access buses
A few things to remember when you use an easy access bus:
- When the bus arrives, the driver will lower the bus and / or lower the ramp to pavement level.
- Once on the bus, reverse into the dedicated area for wheelchairs so you are facing the back of the bus.
- Remember to apply the handbrake.
- If you have any difficulties, please ask the driver for assistance.
- Look for the symbol on the side of the bus.
Wheelchairs and scooters
Wheelchair users will be able to board the bus if:
- The bus is equipped with a wheelchair space
- The wheelchair space is unoccupied
- The total carrying capacity of the bus would not be exceeded
- Motorised wheelchairs and those carrying oxygen tanks are permitted on buses providing they are not too large for the wheelchair space.
- Motorised scooters, with handlebars or steering loops, are not allowed on buses.
- The wheelchair ramp will be used if it is safe to do so. Unfortunately however it may not be possible to use the ramp if the bus is prevented from reaching the kerb by other vehicles.
Guide dogs and recognised assistance dogs
Guide dogs, hearing and other recognised assistance dogs are allowed on easy access buses.
