Problems of bus lanes

FORMIDABLE practical and design problems face public transport routes when they are combined with urban motorways. This view is forcibly expressed in the current issue of Greater Manchester Transport's Express staff newspaper. Mr Tony Young, the PTE's senior planning officer for transportation, commenting on an article in New Societv by a university professor, said that the claim that buses could carry 45,000 passengers per hour applied only to an isolated example in New York. Mr Young went on to say that there were comparatively very few urban motorways in Britain and they did not go where buses needed to go. He revealed, however, that the PTE was carrying out detailed studies to examine the feasibility of incorporating either a busway or a light rapid transit scheme in certain old tramway reservations in Manchester. The PTE was also undertaking the largest study outside London of bus priority measures on major radial routes.
