12 Weeks of FREE Bus Travel for Unpaid Carers
There’s some good news for unpaid Carers in the West Midlands! As part of the government-funded West Midlands Bus Scheme, you are likely to be eligible for 12 weeks of free bus travel. This initiative is being rolled out by Transport for West Midlands (TfWM) in collaboration with Forward Carers who manages Birmingham Carers Hub, Walsall Carers Hub and Carer Friendly Dudley.
What’s the Offer?
If you’re an unpaid Carer over the age of 16, living in the West Midlands and currently use the bus a few times a week, you can take advantage of this money-saving offer. You can benefit from 4-weeks of free bus travel via Swift technology and the nBus multi-operator bus ticketing scheme. This ticket allows unlimited travel across the entire West Midlands bus network, making it easier to get out and about.
How to Apply
Simply fill out the application form here. The application form will be active from the 28 October to 10 November 2024. Please remember that only one application can be processed per person, and eligibility will be determined based on your responses.
What Happens Next?
If your application is successful, you will receive an email containing a voucher code along with instructions on how to redeem it for your bus ticket. Your journey to free travel will start with the first 4-week Regional nBus ticket, followed by two additional 4-week tickets—totalling 12 weeks of free travel!
Further Savings – Half Price Tickets!
If you use your free tickets, you’ll be eligible for a 50% discount on your next 4-week Regional nBus ticket, followed by two additional discount codes for a total of 12 weeks of discounted travel. These codes will be sent to you automatically via email as your current ticket nears expiration.
This offer is made possible by TfWM, working alongside the Department for Transport, local authorities, and bus operators to ensure our region stays connected and moving.
