Bus fares for Kenilworth residents are set to be frozen at their current levels until 2025 National Express West Midlands has announced.

The operator, which runs the 11 and 24 buses through Kenilworth, said the announcement will save the average commuter £250 per year.

The fare freeze is part of a £88million Bus Service Improvement Plan, which is aims to increase passenger numbers and reduce private car use over the next three years.

David Bradford, managing director of National Express West Midlands, said: "If you're an average commuter, you will save £250 next year thanks to these frozen fares.

"We know how tough things are at the moment and we're pleased to be working with WMCA to help our customers in any way we can. As well as being better value than ever, it's also simpler than ever: just tap on with your contactless card - there's no more need to find the exact change."

Work is also continuing on the All Electric Bus City project in Coventry which will ensure every bus in the city is a zero-emission electric vehicle by 2025.

The first of these are due to enter service in the next few weeks.

The region is also planning the development of the UK's largest hydrogen bus fleet, with 124 set to enter service over the next two years.
