Objectives

wmsnt buses provide community based, timetabled bus services throughout the West Midlands. From modest beginnings in 2012,wmsnt has built the number of routes operated to 54 from the end of April 2014. These services are available to all members of the public living in the vicinity of the routes provided. wmsnt bus services are provided by a sister charity to the charity which has operated the Ring and Ride service throughout the West Midlands since 1983. We also run several routes in Warwickshire, more information can be found at www.flexibus-wmsnt.org

Our Aim

Our aim is to provide a reliable and customer focused service. Because wmsnt bus services are provided by a charitable company, and we have no shareholders looking to make a profit, we can operate the service purely for the benefit of the public.

Activities

Our principal activity is to provide accessible transport services for people in the West Midlands who experience mobility impairment.  This is achieved primarily through the Ring and Ride, door-to-door, minibus service and through other specific operations under contract to Transport and Local Authorities, the NHS and many charities.
