Thank you to the millions of passengers who have continued to follow guidance to protect others.

The West Midlands remains Open for Business, and the network will continue to take you where you’re going and keep you moving. 

If you can, walk or cycle for short journeys. When using public transport, remember to:

  • Plan ahead and travel safely and avoid peak travel times if you have a choice.
  • You will need to wear a face covering across all modes of public transport unless exempt, let’s travel together safely.
