The University has an arrangement with West Yorkshire Combined Authority/Metro to purchase discounted Metrocards. Staff will be able to pay for West Yorkshire Metrocards through instalment payments via payroll deduction.

The closing date for applications for the annual scheme is Friday 18 November 2016.

What cards are available to buy?

The scheme covers the five Metrocards that are currently offered for West Yorkshire Metro regions.

  • A bus only card – valid on all West Yorkshire bus services.
  • All train journeys in Zones 1,2 & 3 (buses throughout W Yorks. area)
  • All train journeys in Zones 1,2,3 & 4 (buses throughout W Yorks. area)
  • All train journeys in Zones 1,2,3,4 & 5 (buses throughout W Yorks. area)
  • MetroCards are valid on virtually all ordinary stopping bus services in West Yorkshire

How do I join?

Employees can apply by logging in to the Metrocard applications webpage and completing the online form. New customers will then be sent an application form which they will need to print, sign and return to the Sustainability Team. Employees renewing their Metrocard will need to submit an online renewal application and will receive confirmation that their renewal has been successful.

Who do I contact for further information?

For all enquiries please contact sustainability@hud.ac.uk. Alternatively call the Estates and Facilities Helpline on extension 2550 and you will be directed to a member of staff who can deal with your query.
