Richard Parker plans to create a public franchise system similar to Greater Manchester's.
The West Midlands Mayor has said bus users will start to see improvements to the region's network two years from next spring.
In response to listener questions on BBC Radio WM, the mayor also said he had launched an "independent review" to determine the status of ongoing transport projects he had inherited. When questioned about avoidable road deaths he described feeling "shocked and appalled" by the number of people losing their lives on the region's roads.
