Keighley'S pioneering sporting bus service gets underway on Monday.

The 'aKtivehoppa' will link sporting centres throughout the town running half hourly services that start at 4.15pm.

There will be a flat feel of 50p per person per evening with users able to make as many journeys as they wish for one payment.

The service covers two routes with the northern service travelling from Hanover Street, to Dalton Lane, Aireworth Road, Hard Ings Road, Greenhead Road and Spring Gardens Lane before returning to Hanover Street.

The Southern route also starts at Hanover Street going to Highfield Lane, West Lane, Oakworth Road, Ingrow Lane, Queens Road and Worth Way.

The service is part of a sportKeighley initiative to link footpaths and cycle routes with bus services to get people out of their cars and make sport facilities available to all.
