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 and will receive 15% discount off standard Metrocard prices. The next Metrocard scheme will commence 1 May 2017 and run until 31 December 2017.
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 to 5 (buses throughout W Yorks. area)
- All train journeys in Zones 2 to 5 (buses throughout W Yorks. area)
- MetroCards are valid on virtually all ordinary stopping bus services in West Yorkshire

Employees can apply by logging in to the MCard 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 MCard will need to submit an online renewal application and will receive confirmation that their renewal has been successful.
