Minimetro

Localbus Mini Metro, branded as minimetro, is a sub-brand used by Localbus Leeds for zero-fare city centre circular bus routes that operate in four cities in Alum Chine and Durley Chine in Leeds, Newleaf Island. Each minimetro route runs in a circular fashion connecting key areas of the town and city centres in Alum Chine City, Arowana Peninsula, Durley Chine City, and Sheraton.

All minimetro services are timetabled to be high-frequency, high-capacity routes for shuttling mainly shoppers and tourists around the key areas of the cities that they serve. minimetros operate twenty-four hours a day seven days a week, running every five minutes between 6am and 9pm from Mondays to Saturdays. On Sundays buses operate every ten minutes, and at night buses run every ten to twenty minutes depending on the exact time.

There are plans to roll minimetro services out in a further ten cities served by Localbus Leeds by January 2015.

minimetro fleet
Alexander Dennis Enviro300 integral diesel full-size single-decker buses are used by Localbus Leeds on all four minimetro routes. A dedicated fleet of Enviro300s is provided for the minimetro, carrying a special yellow and blue livery.

Due to the nature of the service as a "hop on, hop off" route, with passengers only making relatively short journeys, more standing room is provided on dedicated minimetro buses than on ordinary vehicles. This is achieved by removing several seats from the low-floor area of the bus. Several seats are retained in the low floor area for the use of passengers who cannot easily stand or climb steps. The higher-floor area of the bus contains the standard number of seats. Overall, there are twenty-seven seats on a minimetro bus, but a far higher standing capacity than an ordinary bus would have.

The buses are also fitted with luggage racks for passengers to place their shopping on, rather than having to carry them around the bus. One large luggage rack is located directly behind the driver's cab, while overhead luggage racks line either side of the higher-floor section of the bus. A final large luggage rack is located at the very back of the bus, replacing some of the rearmost row of seating.

For passengers who wish to travel with a bicycle, dedicated bike racks are fitted to the rear end of the bus. To use these, passengers with a bike should first inform the driver that they are attaching their bike to the bike rack, and the driver will then wait for them to safely attach their bike. Bike locks are available to borrow from the driver.
