First West Yorkshire
First West Yorkshire operates both local and regional bus services in West Yorkshire, England.

History In April 1974, West Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive was formed, with the municipal fleets of Bradford, Calderdale, Halifax, Huddersfield and Leeds combined. Services were branded under the MetroBus brand, with a cream and verona green livery adopted. To comply with the Transport Act 1985, West Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive bus operations were transferred to a separate legal entity – rebranded as Yorkshire Rider. The livery changed to a bright green and cream livery with a stylised "YR" logo, plus the name "Yorkshire Rider", with an area on the logo that incorporated the town in which the garage for that bus was located. In October 1988, Yorkshire Rider was sold in a management buyout. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
