Residents will be able to travel on Coventry buses for free on New Years Day. People can jump on a bus in the city from 7am until 10pm on January 1, 2025.

Passengers can hop on a bus anywhere from Coventry and Solihull to Birmingham and the Black Country. Mayor Richard Parker said the pre-Christmas offer of free evening bus journeys saw passenger numbers increase by a third across the West Midlands.

Today, Mr Parker announced that people can take advantage of free bus journeys on New Years Day. It applies to all bus operators in the West Midlands, including National Express, Stagecoach, and Diamond.
