HALESOWEN residents can hop on and off any bus in the region all day for just £1.63 thanks to the launch of a new ticket this week.

Transport Authority Centro has unveiled its new nbus direct debit pass which can be used on buses run by over 35 companies in the West Midlands, so people no longer need to wait for a particular operator to come along.

It means passengers can travel anywhere in and between Birmingham, Coventry, Dudley, Sandwell, Solihull, Walsall and Wolverhampton on any bus service all day every day for less than the cost of two litres of petrol.

Matthew Lewis, Concessions and Commercial Ticketing Manager at Centro, said: “Whether people are commuting to work, going shopping, visiting family and friends or accessing leisure and health facilities, they will usually need to catch at least two buses on a return trip.

“The new nbus direct debit ticket means people can now travel all day every day on any bus operators’ service in the West Midlands for less than it often costs for a single bus trip when purchasing a ticket from the driver."
