Free Bus Tickets for the Homeless

In April 2018, the Mayor's Office and the Homelessness Taskforce struck a deal with National Express West Midlands to provide 14,00 day passes to the homeless and those at risk of homelessness.

The bus passes can make life easier for those in need by allowing them to reach essential services like healthcare, counselling and temporary accommodation.

National Express West Midlands have continued to donate bus passes following the success of this pilot scheme, with the total number of people having received passes now exceeding 5,000.

The number of passes distributed within each local authority is as follows:

Local Authority	Passes Distributed
Birmingham	1768
Coventry	575
Dudley	300
Sandwell	400
Solihull	430
Walsall	325
Wolverhampton	1250
Grand Total	5048
