The district is split between both Bradford metropolitan borough and Leeds metropolitan borough, with east Tyersal sitting in the Pudsey ward of Leeds City Council.

On Tyersal Road there are six shops, including a Newsagents, Pharmacy, Cafe, tanning salon and a Takeaway.

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.

New Pudsey railway station is around one and a half miles north-east of the village by road, where services are operated by Northern to Manchester Victoria, Blackpool North, Wakefield Westgate, York and Selby.
