The West Midlands Combined Authority’s (WMCA) Audit, Risk and Assurance Committee is set to review an internal audit report on Monday, April 27, which evaluates the ongoing Bus Reform initiative. This reform involves a significant shift from the existing private operator-led structure to a franchise model, granting Transport for West Midlands greater control over fares, routes, and timetables.
