This once in a generation, multi million pound programme will reshape how bus services operate across the whole of West Yorkshire, creating a more integrated, reliable and passenger‑focused network. As the project progresses, it is expected to attract significant regional investment, giving our new ICT Project Manager the chance to contribute to one of the most ambitious transport reforms in the region whilst also benefiting from substantial opportunities for professional growth.
Please note that interviews will be held Tuesday 24 March.
