Birmingham city centre
The Cross City Bus routes require changes to the roads at key points within the Birmingham middle ring road (A4540) to enable buses to seamlessly travel from one side of the city to the other. TfWM will lead on the development of selected city centre projects, while also working in partnership with those already delivering initiatives to ensure our shared goals are reflected in their plans.
Why it's happening
The changes would speed up existing bus services and make them more reliable. By improving the reliability of buses, we can also look at introducing new longer services where you won’t need to change buses in Birmingham.
This project will also be looking at how we can make it easier to change between buses in the city centre, by moving bus stops closer together.

Your feedback
In 2024, Birmingham City Council asked local residents for their feedback on the introduction of bus priority measures in the city centre, as part of their City Centre Movement and Access Strategy. To find out more please follow the links below:
- Consultation on the City Centre Movement and Access Strategy (Part 1)
- Consultation on the City Centre Movement and Access Strategy (Part 2)
Later this year, we will be sharing a proposal about additional bus priority measures in the city centre and you’ll have the opportunity to give us your feedback. To be notified of the consultation going live, please sign up to updates on Commonplace – our online engagement platform.
