We'd love to hear what you think about anything to do with local transport:

where do the buses go?

where do they stop?
where do you want them to go?
do they run often enough?
do you know where to get information about timetables?
What are the bus stops like?
what are the roads like?
what about pavements?

What you say is up to you.

Below is a map which shows you what transport services run at the moment:

The Bus Timetable should be clearer on the website because its hard to find out the time and the plce where you want to catch the bus.

Hi, thanks for your suggestion.

The quality of the map that is displayed on the forum can vary depending on what resolution settings are on your PC monitor.

We have added a higher quality PDF that you can see if you click on the picture itself.

Thanks again

Pattingham has a problem regarding public transport (3 actually):

- infrequent daytime service - every 1 1/2 hours or so
- no evening service
- no Sunday service

This makes it difficult for young people who have to rely on their parents and friends to ferry them around. I imagine this leads to boredom, which in turn leads to anti-social behaviour (though I have no proof).

Not having an adequate bus service means adults, particularly those who work, need a car, thus diminishing the usage of public transport - a chicken/egg situation.

Here are a couple of options:

- divert Bridgnorth services through Pattingham - this has happened in the past
- have a shuttle service to Perton - this would help people needing to go to the facilities there and could also be a "hop" in Tettenhall & Wolverhampton

I appreciate that both would need to be subsidised.

There is a lack of public transport from Bilbrook during the weekends. There are no West Midlands buses running either on a Saturday or a Sunday. In addition, there is a long walk up Duck Lane to get to the bus stop at Birches Bridge which can be difficult for elderly residents.
