Getting around Birmingham by bus

Buses help connect Birmingham's centre with its surrounding districts. Plan around the network's broadly radial shape: a short journey between neighbouring areas may still require a change in the centre.

Why go

Understanding the layout matters more than memorising a route number. Local departures are spread across city-centre streets, so finding the right stop is part of the journey. Bull Street, Colmore Row, Corporation Street and Stephenson Street are useful orientation points, but check the stop assigned to your particular service.

Useful to know

  • Check the current departure stop and return service before leaving the centre.
  • Compare the whole journey between outer districts, including any change in the centre.
  • Use the current journey planner for fares, payment methods and late services.
