In England we do have dedicated bus lanes and famously very little room to add light rail and it works pretty well. Probably a good option for cities and buses can rerouted and powered by greener energy more easily than rail.
- pjc50 7y ago> buses can rerouted and powered by greener energy more easily than rail. ? Buses are definitely easy to reroute, but electric trains are much easier to "green". I'm slightly surprised we've not seen trolleybuses as a compromise, but I guess the wiring is too expensive. The one thing that definitely doesn't work is guided buses on separate dedicated routes.
- jlokier 7y agoIn England here. I wouldn't say the buses work pretty well - journeying on them tends to make me sick fairly consistently, unlike trains which do not. I think it is due to the bumpy roads, terrible suspension and polluted air. The difference is stark enough that I'm happy to go to work at the end of a train, underground, cycle and/or substantial walking (even in the rain), but I'm severely put off any job that requires a daily bus. After all, who wants to feel sick every day.
