The walk to my nearest bus stop has such poor air quality I find myself coughing by the time I get to the stop (it's an 8 minute walk). So I walk to a stop further away with less traffic on the route. But the route to my nearest stop is also the walk to school for so many kids...

@FictionsOEK @carriageworks_ Hi, I can't make the whole day but would it be ok to just come for the morning?

[Transport for the North @Transport4North]

CHART OF THE WEEK: A recent @TransportFocus report showed awareness and use of the £2 #bus fare cap is higher in the three regions of the North than the rest of England.

This has increased significantly since January 2023 and is highest in the North East. #NorthernStats

@BBC6Music @laurenlaverne can you give a shout out to my best friend Kat who is moving to the USA today!!! Going to miss her SO much but wishing her all the best!

@DrGregMarsden I'm enjoying these buses on the X98/99 route (I get on in Roundhay) but I am sad to see the zap service go. I had a friend who commuted daily on the zap pre-pandemic because it was much more affordable than the train...

[Clare Linton @ClareLLinton]

Earlier this year I read "I Belong Here" by @anitasethi and loved it! I'm so pleased that we'll be discussing this at the @transportwm book club in January 👇🏾
