We're taking back our buses

West Midlands Bus

Now let’s build what comes next, together.

The way buses are planned and managed in the West Midlands is changing. This will give Transport for West Midlands greater control over the network and how it works for local people.

Bus services will continue to run as normal while we prepare for what comes next.

Help shape what comes next

Soon, we’ll start a new conversation with people across the West Midlands.

We want to hear what would make buses work better for you, your journeys and your part of the region.

Whether you use buses every day, only occasionally or not at all, there will be different ways to take part, both online and in person.

One conversation, with different ways to take part

This will not be a one-off survey. Over time, we’ll ask about different parts of the bus experience as the work develops.

Different things can be influenced at different times. Whenever we ask for your views, we’ll explain:

  • what has already been decided
  • what your feedback will help inform
  • who will make the final decision
  • when we’ll report back on what we heard

You’ll be able to choose the topics that matter to you and see how people’s feedback is being used.

Coming soon

We’ll soon be opening the first conversation and inviting people across the West Midlands to take part.

Sign up and we’ll let you know when the conversation opens, when new opportunities to take part are added and when we publish updates about what we’ve heard.
