Summer has arrived, and exploring the West Midlands by tram has never been easier. Whether it’s a last-minute “fancy grabbing something to eat?” message, a family day out, or chasing the sunshine to somewhere new, Metro offers an easy way to get around without the hassle of traffic or parking.
With trams running every 4–11 minutes into the heart of Birmingham, and convenient park and ride facilities for those driving in, it’s a reliable choice for anyone heading into the city this summer.
As part of the Own Your Summer campaign, Metro is highlighting three existing ticket options built around one idea: no planning required, just pick a day and go.
Flexible Day Bundles let you choose 3, 4, 7 or 10 travel days and use them whenever it suits you, this week, next month, or the moment the sun comes out. Available exclusively through the MyMetro app.
Unlimited Exploring Ticket, from £3.30, less than a coffee and a pastry and gives you a full day of hop-on, hop-off travel within your chosen zones. No plan required: revisit a favourite spot, or discover somewhere you’ve never actually stopped at. Buy via the MyMetro app or at any ticket machine.
Family Ticket, from £9, offers unlimited tram travel for 1–2 adults and up to 4 children, ideal for museums, food festivals, canal-side walks and more. Available on the app or at ticket machines across the network.
Three ways to Own Your Summer
Michael-Reading Skilton, Head of Commercial at West Midlands Metro, said: “Summer should be about spontaneity, not logistics. Whether you’re hopping on for an afternoon or planning a full week of days out, these tickets mean the only thing you need to think about is where the tram takes you next.“
With food festivals, family attractions and plenty to discover, the West Midlands is set for a busy summer, so hop on and Own Your Summer with Metro.
