Misguided Bus

Strange isn't it? The germans have just closed their last guided busway!!! Can't our drivers steer straight or what? Our local busses do 45-50 mph on ordinary roads when possible so I don't see any speed advantage over reserved bus lanes (like FASTRACK). A lot of money wasted! Bring back the trolleybusses, at least they were green electric.

Its ok if It actually connects two points that need connecting and takes lots of single occupant cars off the road.Does it?

@muggles63 that area was already an abandoned railway track wasnt it?

@deckbuzz would have cost to much!!!

@LoLArneh yes but they are billions of pounds somthing a local authority doesnt have!!!

@t470vectra railway would have been to fixed with stations not being close enough to a place of work. tram way would have been a good idea, however the cost and flexability of a guided bus route is far superior, plus the maintnance/ track work is also at a minimum.

@muggles63 you talk rubbish most of it used to be a railway line. the other option to improve the transport situation was more roads in the area.... across even more untouched countryside.

guided bus ways are just white elephants

Ever heard of a subway?
Waste of money - an area of outstanding natural beauty destroyed.
Hope you Councillors feel proud of the concrete shit you've put all over the countryside.

To all the people who"bash" these systems compared to railway then work out running costs when its finished.It is more enviromentally friendly and more cost effective.Light rail , trains ,subways would not turn profits and you cant just drive off the tracks in a train or tram.This is a great system and your councils couldve built real shit and raised your rates a LOT more.So just be happy you actually had someone think for once.
