Our new bus lane,
I think it is 24hr 7 days a week
A lot of people say it is not.
who is right
Bus lanes rob the motorists and truck drivers of space we've paid for, leading to poor road utilisation and sometimes to danger. Most of the time, they're not used at all; when a bus does come along, it may be empty or sparsely occupied.
They're designed to make life easier for the few, not the many.
Doncaster's Park and Rides are abuot ONE acre each.Park and Ride.
Hmmm, what a triumph of political spin: the loss of acres of greenbelt land to build massive car parks
Maybe, but compared to the overall impact of street lighting, also paid for by taxpayers, its not much.car park lighting left on all night every night
Doncaster's new bus corridors have the newest buses on them. First buses invested £18m buying about 18 brand new double deckers (something like that anyway)stinky buses doing about 4mpg and 4mph
On Doncaster's new bus corridors, the bus lane is always an additional lane, they didnt green over any existing road. They renewed all the street lighting on its whole length, with a simple row of HPS lighting on each side - it looks a lot neater and better than the old LPS lighting, some of which was in the middle, and some on the roadside. The kerbs and pavements were also resurfaced to give better access to bus stops, and every bus stop has been replaced. Doncaster does it rightcosts of and materials used to create bus lanes, increased congestion in remaining lanes...
Only when they're fullYou'd be better using the bus then. A bus takes something like a hundred cars off the road.
Doncaster experimented with night buses for the drunkards spilling out of the pubs at 2-3am, but I think they ran them too early - there were something like 3 services on 3 routes per night, on fridays and saturdays, between like 1 and 2am. But its too early. People would rather get a taxi. And the routes were ridiculous. To get to my house, I'd have to be on the bus about 45 minutes, since it would be on the way back to town. I only live 2 miles from town. I would walk, but one of my mates was badly beaten up on his way home a few years ago, in an un-provoked and un-motivated attack.
