===Bus=== [[File:Hudds-ftb.jpg|thumb|right|Huddersfield Free Town Bus]] A [[Trolleybuses in Huddersfield|trolleybus network]] operated from 1933 to 1968. [[Huddersfield bus station]] was opened by the Mayor, Councillor Mernagh on 26 March 1974, although it had not been completed.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.huddersfield1.co.uk/|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080418053200/http://www.huddersfield1.co.uk/huddersfield/huddsmemory.htm|url-status=dead|title=Huddersfield β Huddersfield.co.uk|archivedate=18 April 2008|website=www.huddersfield1.co.uk}}</ref> It is the busiest bus station in West Yorkshire with a daily footfall of almost 35,000. Most bus services pass through the bus station. Many services are subsidised by [[West Yorkshire Metro|Metro]]. [[File:Huddersfield Bus Station and Multi Storey Car Park . - geograph.org.uk - 313297.jpg|thumb|[[Huddersfield bus station]]]] Huddersfield's bus operators reflect the national situation; local subsidiaries of three dominant national operators provide most services in the area: [[First Calderdale & Huddersfield]] provide most local services in Huddersfield and some services outside Kirklees with destinations including Bradford, Brighouse, and Halifax. [[Stagecoach Manchester]] also operates the 184 service as part of the [[Bee Network]] out of the town to nearby [[Oldham]] in [[Greater Manchester]]. [[Arriva Yorkshire]] provide frequent services to Dewsbury and Leeds, and [[Team Pennine]] provide almost all services in the south east of the town. Other smaller operators include Stotts Coaches and Team Pennine. Centrebus Holdings purchased Teamdeck in May 2008, along with [[Stagecoach Yorkshire]]'s Huddersfield depot.<ref>{{cite news|date=3 May 2008|title=Stagecoach operation is sold β but not to Arriva|newspaper=The Huddersfield Daily Examiner|url=http://www.examiner.co.uk/news/express-and-chronicle/2008/05/03/stagecoach-operation-is-sold-but-not-to-arriva-86081-20874542/|url-status=dead|access-date=19 August 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120320044050/http://www.examiner.co.uk/news/express-and-chronicle/2008/05/03/stagecoach-operation-is-sold-but-not-to-arriva-86081-20874542/|archive-date=20 March 2012}}</ref> In November 2006, a [[Zero-fare public transport|zero-fare]] town centre bus service, the [[FreeCityBus|Free Town Bus]], was launched run by K-Line in partnership with Kirklees Council and Metro. Today this is run by Team Pennine.
