West Midlands Bus Alliance

The West Midlands Bus Alliance is made up of:

bus operators
local councils
Transport for West Midlands
community groups

We work together to improve bus services. We want to make bus travel cleaner, greener, safer and faster. The WMCA, as the local transport authority for the West Midlands, made an Enhanced Partnership (EP) for the West Midlands on 28 June 2021. Copies of the EP Plan and modified Scheme can be found on this website.

The alliance has committed to 50 goals. Our main aims are to:

tackle congestion
make bus journeys quicker
improve bus emissions standards
make bus travel attractive for young people
make bus journeys better value
make it easier to buy a ticket
make it easier to catch the bus
make it more pleasant to travel by bus

We also want to improve the bus network. This will help support the local economy.
