“My Mayor’s Fares will bring travel costs down and help people make huge savings at a time when they need it most.
"It’s disappointing that some operators are using this as an opportunity to sneak up fares on previously cheaper routes.
“Let me be clear - these price increases by operators are not to pay for the new £2 fare cap. We are reimbursing them for this. I’ll be taking this issue up with operators as a matter of urgency.
“My Mayor's Fares will make bus travel cheaper and simpler across West Yorkshire, and I want all passengers to feel the benefit."
