Meanwhile, in the deregulated rest of the country, buses are as rare as hens teeth.
My city can’t even instigate something like an oyster card because of the mess local transport is in, much to the astonishment of visitors from the capital.
Meanwhile, Paris is doing the same thing by building trams and rapid transit.
Great now do this in every other city. Build the full hs2 line and more and build trams in every city. Remove cars from city centres as much as possible, build actual protected or completely separate bike lanes
Then maybe we can actually get somewhere
Must be nice living somewhere with sufficient public transport.
waste of money to keep the anti-ULEZ crowd happy. how about maybe introducing trams? like the rest of the world?
It’s not really a loop, when you look at it, is it? It’s a number of routes ending where another begins, roughly circling London, but not fully. I should have thought a specific numbered bus going the whole way around would be the best approach. It would be easy to understand.
I can’t help but feel that southeast part looks very familiar. Basically it’s just the existing 269 bus route for the Bexleyheath->Bromley bit. I hope they’re at least going to extend that to Bromley South rather than just going to Bromley North (absolute lemon of a train station) like it does now and increase frequency a bit.
Sounds interesting but would it be used all that often? Also the article says Brent would be part of it but I don’t see it in the map.
It needs to be done. It will, if it the services are regular and punctual probably reduce the amount of people using a car. They should probably also try to use electric powered buses if possible. Where I live in the Netherlands the use electric buses. But they have also drastically reduced the services the last few years. And that needs to change.
