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 🤦
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
"Pedestrians would not be able to use the bike bus but would be able to board conventional buses"
This seems like extra steps for no reason.
Sure, 20 busses per hour peak, so a ride every 3 minutes. But a cyclist can only use a bike bus and a pedestrian only a conventional bus. You you've immediately reduced service standards to 6 minutes....
