The West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) Board on 13 March 2026 considered a Full Business Case to procure around 24 battery-electric articulated “tram-like” #buses and charging infrastructure for the Sprint bus rapid #transit scheme. The project, part of a wider vision for improved public #transport, would operate along the A34 and A45 corridors linking #Walsall, #Birmingham and #Solihull. The report recommends approving £25.96m in funding, combining CRSTS and Department for Transport ZEBRA grants, and delegating contract authority. The preferred option offers strong strategic fit and value for money, with a positive benefit-cost ratio, improved accessibility, reduced emissions and faster journeys. Further work is required on the ticketing model. Sprint is expected to launch with franchised bus services from October 2027.

White communities would be rioting by now, guess Minorities are wiser and less emotional.
I see the filth Tabloids are upset that Minority communities might be defending themselves now.
It's OK for White People to patrol the streets looking for "immigrants" but as soon as any Minority community works to protect themselves from White predation it's "we're being invaded" from the Whites.
