Stop it now! Sort it out SCC! You sure you aren't another poster in disguise? The buses have as much right to road-space as any other traffic - and badly/illegally parked cars have a major disruptive effect on traffic flow! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop it now! Sort it out SCC! A half full bus is still much better for environment than if these people all took their car impeding traffic flow. If you want to stop frustration I suggest to start with oneself. Scc will never ever make you feel less frustrated it's not their job or responsibility to sort people emotions. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredderick Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Plus the Council haven’t had powers over bus operators for a very long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taxis provide more impediments to flow and hazards to driving in and around Sheffield than buses through their total disregard of the rules and laws of driving in the UK. Maybe we should start there first... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because these have been requested by the operators, to improve the bus services time-keeping - a major gripe of bus-users. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanting to promote modal shift to tackle congestion and climate change is not the same as having legal powers to regulate the bus companies.

Don’t answer to get people out of their cars as it won’t happen. Basically because the government wants them to. The government provide the money for transport schemes and the main thrust of their funding in recent years has been about promoting public transport and active travel ( walking and cycling). A lot of people who use the bus also have a car. They just make the most appropriate choice for that journey. Bus lanes help to speed up bus journeys and keep the journey times more consistent. Those are major factors in his viable the bus is as an alternative to car travel. Bus lanes mostly don’t affect car journey times. The bus lanes generally end before a major junction, they just get the bus further towards the front of the queue at that junction. They don’t affect junction capacity which is the main cause of delays to general traffic. The bits in between the junctions are generally free flowing out of peak hours, so having a bus lane there doesn’t affect car drivers at all. All local authorities across the country are implementing the same types of bus priority measures and schemes to encourage active travel, because that’s what the government will give them the money to do and those schemes fit with local, regional and national policy. Local Authorities generally have policies which reflect those of central government because that’s where the money comes from. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
