Arriva says congestion due to major schemes has caused 'significant worsening' of bus journey times.
The roadworks, which began in September, will eventually see City Square traffic-free
The operator said it was having to add running time to some routes to reflect the impact of congestion.Work to pedestrianise City Square in Leeds has had a major impact and Arriva said traffic volumes on Whitehall Road had increased by a "staggering 39%". "Whilst we have some resilience in our timetables, the level of congestion on some routes is delaying us by up to 30 minutes, which far exceeds the level of contingency we have built in."The company said the new timetable would show longer journey times on some routes.
