‘Bike bus’ proposed for cyclists to use new Silvertown Tunnel under Thames
A planned shuttle bus would carry cyclists between Canary Wharf and north Greenwich in minutes
London is building a new road tunnel under the Thames, in an area that already suffers from very poor air quality, in a city that widely supports reducing amounts of traffic. After much complaining from locals, a plan to accommodate cyclists in the (currently under construction) tunnel has been unveiled, and the idea is to use a shuttle bus 🤦
You're viewing a single thread.
Absolute bullshit. Hang around for a bus, which you may or may not be charged for, because all the money is being spent on enabling more cars.
TfL said the shuttle bus was the best option as services could be tailored to “uncertain demand” to ensure value for money.
Translation: we'll make the bus too infrequent to be of any use to anyone, then cite the lack of demand as a reason to cut the service further.
I have such high hopes for London, their cycling infrastructure has been getting better I er the years, but then I go to Paris and just cry at what is possible
