Present
Service 50 currently serves Birmingham, Balsall Heath, Moseley, Kings Heath, Maypole before ending at Druids Heath. The National Express West Midlands service is usually operated by Alexander Dennis Enviro400s, many of which are branded specifically for the 50, although Dennis Trident 2/Alexander ALX400s also appear. Service 50 runs every 5 minutes Monday to Saturday daytimes (every 10 minutes Sunday) and every 12 minutes evenings.
Route 50 is claimed by National Express to be one of the busiest routes in Europe.
Service 50 is also operated by Diamond Bus, who run from Birmingham to Druids Heath, and The Green Bus who run from Birmingham to Maypole, although both these operators run at a lower frequency than National Express West Midlands and with no evening service. The Green Bus also run some services as 50A running beyond Maypole to Redditch or Wythall.

Famous quotes containing the word present:
“In the present state we are in, we find such a strong sympathy and union between our souls and bodies, that the one cannot be touched or sensibly affected, without producing some corresponding emotion in the other.... We are not angels, but men cloathed with bodies, and, in some measure governed by our imaginations.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
“It is sadder to find the past again and find it inadequate to the present than it is to have it elude you and remain forever a harmonious conception of memory.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“I am tired of a life of contention, and of being the personal object for the hatred of every man, who hates the present state of things.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
