Metro has reviewed the bus services it supports in and around Keighley.
The
Keighley Area Bus Network Review sought to examine Metro's expenditure on bus
services in the Keighley area. The main aim was to maintain an effective bus
network for the area at a lower cost to the local taxpayer. The bus services
changed over the weekend of 28/29 April 2012.
Many bus services
in Keighley are operated commercially by Transdev in Keighley, and these were
not affected by Metro's review.
Keighley is served by a number
of core bus services (read
more about Keighley's Core Routes).
Consultation took place
during September and October 2011 and we received a lot of comments. We would
like to thank everyone that contributed. Your comments helped us make some
changes to our proposals.

tendering
