A free travel scheme to encourage people to commute by bus has generated a million journeys in under a year,  Transport for West Midlands (TfWM) has reported.

The £19m scheme, funded by the Government, is primarily aimed at employers and large organisations to encourage staff to leave cars at home and try the bus.

Staff can sign up for a Swift account or travel card to get a period of free or discounted bus travel. The scheme has attracted more than 27,000 users so far.
