The MetroCard allows virtually unlimited travel on buses and trains throughout West Yorkshire.
What are the benefits?
The RMC Scheme will:
- help address residents' need for access to a full range of facilities for work, education, health, leisure, recreation and shopping by public transport;
- reduce the traffic generated by the development;
- promote healthy sustainable lifestyles and;
- raise the awareness of public transport and help establish more sustainable travel patterns.
