A line of buses

People in Coventry and the West Midlands are asked to give their views on the plans for bus franchising.

This would mean that instead of private companies running the bus network, Transport for West Midlands would be able to set their bus fares, timetables and routes to bring buses back under public control.

In December the proposals were agreed to go out to consultation, after an independent audit concluded that franchising would deliver better value for money and improve services.

The scheme is similar to transport for London and is very much like what has recently happened in Greater Manchester and Liverpool. Follow the link below for more information, including supporting documents and how to complete the consultation survey.

The consultation runs until 30 March 2025.
