Currently there is the 633 service, operated by First Bradford, which terminates at an unknown location (currently disputed by Tyersal residents). Service 508 from Leeds to Halifax operated also by First Bradford, is every hour along Dick Lane at the bottom of Tyersal. Previously, service 66 (operated by First Leeds and then Centrebus) provided buses to Leeds and back (there were four services daily), although 2010 saw this service withdrawn, and now service 508 is the only remaining bus to Leeds.
