Request a new bus shelter or stop pole

We are responsible for bus stops in the West Midlands.

Our bus stops either have a pole or a shelter. They also usually have a timetable poster.

You can report a problem with a shelter or stop online.

Use this service to ask us to:

  • install a new pole
  • replace a shelter with a pole
  • replace a pole with a shelter
  • move a pole or shelter to a different place

The process takes around 15 minutes.
