The outline of this has been mentioned in the thread on BSIP (Bus Service Improvement Plan), but now it's coming to fruition (tomorrow).
All the local operators in Keighley already offer £2 fares, but from tomorrow most or all the local routes will have a reasonably long section where the fare is £1.

Interestingly the £1 fares cover not just the current Local zone, but the buses to Airedale hospital (and the 62 so long as it's parallel to them).
Transdev Burnley's M4 is specifically mentioned, but Transdev Team Pennine's 502 isn't on the map - it's not clear if this is an omission or if it's not covered. There's only one local non-school route that's not run by Transdev - Jackson's 903 which takes a similar route between Keighley and Airedale hospital - this is currently cheaper than Transdev for many people (it's £1.50 from Keighley to Bar House Lane - Transdev are £2 and were £2.40). They have no social media presence. I'm assuming that despite this being a subsidised route they benefit if they have more passengers - they take passengers with Transdev only tickets for any journey for £1.
Although a good saving for many people it creates quite a "cliff edge" at the end of the zone - for me, I could save half my fare to Steeton Station by getting off 2 (short) stops early!
