Because it's A new low-fare zone. Not new low fare zones.

Wait until 11 and you'll see that it's Walsall.

I can see a Wolverhampton low fare zone coming in the not so distant future as well if I'm honest.
Likewise, I could imagine Solihull too.  ???

Exactly @Dom , the maps aren't exactly self explanatory.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

I get the fact that the new Walsall zone goes as far as West Brom, Scott Arms and Pheasey, but seems a tad strange that it actually says it's valid on the 5 between them. Not gonna lie I'm grateful and I think people in Great Barr will be equally so because they missed out when the Sandwell boundary cut them out, but on that front it would be nice to have included the whole of the 46 through Hamstead, ah well

Intriguing to note that Walsall tickets are valid to West Bromwich, but Sandwell tickets aren't valid to Walsall!

Also isn't the Newton Road(or parts of!) classed as Sandwell, so the Walsall availability on the 5 & 46 should be valid on Dudley Sandwell tickets as well?

That's how both maps look to me.

Exactly my point - yes Sandwell officially includes that large chunk of Hamstead and three corners of the Scott Arms junction, also Yew Tree just beyond Tame Bridge station on the 45 is cut out if you want to go on technicalities

Perhaps @Tony  or someone could explain the differences?
