Guide to Public Transport

Metro has created many tools to help people use public transport in West Yorkshire designed to make planning and using public transport easier.

Our website contents a wealth of information including:

• Interactive train map
• Downloadable bus timetables and train timetables
• Journey Planner – a tool to assist you to plan a journey by bus, train or both.
• Real-time bus information – using the eight-digit bus stop number, bus service number, postcode or by finding a location on a map.
• Real-time train departure and arrival information
• Signing up for Metro Messenger – Metro’s email subscription service which will email you to let you know when services are disrupted or changing, as well information on what is happening in West Yorkshire and some special offers.

Metro is still there for you too while you are on the move:

• On the phone in our call centre, MetroLine, on 0113 245 7676. Open 0700 to 2200 daily (excluding Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day).
• Real-time bus information via text message – text your bus stop number to 63876 (this spells METRO).
• Real-time bus information via the web on your phone or PDA – visit m.wymetro.com and type in your bus stop number or ‘More search options’ to search for your bus service or postcode.
• Real-time train information via text – for departure times text DEP (space) then station name to 84950 or for arrivals text ARR (space) station name to 84950.
• Face-to-face in one of Travel Centres across West Yorkshire.

Metro can also offer you discounts if you travel regularly, with MetroCard. You can choose from bus or bus and train which include different zones, and last for a week, month, 3 months or a year. Pre-purchasing your ticket can save you money, time and hassle. And if your employer is part of the Travel Plan Network you could be entitled to a 15% discount!
