The £230 million wasted on this should have been spent sorting out our existing congestion issues. Their 'smart' long term solution to that is to just ban vehicles altogether.
Bristol is too big to solely rely on a BRT. A Tram/Tram-Train would be been more more logical than Metrobus. Heck, bite the bullet and potentially pull a Merseyrail style system with trains to Bath and Gloucester as well as suburban lines (like Severn beach + Portishead/Henbury)
So let me get this right. One tssr of a bike rider using the bus roadway rather than the huge wide path to the left holds up, a bus of 50-60 people. Okaaaaay. And the bus stops not built 'offroad' so a bus behind can continue round it if it doesn't need to stop. Wow just wow.
This is a fantastic scheme. I wouldn't say it provides the perfect solution for all mass transit schemes but if flexibility, ease of operation and cost are high on your list of priorities then this is it.
WTAF? Bristol.... put down the spliff. Go over to Adelaide and say you're very sorry but you'd like to learn how to build an O-bahn, please. Jesus wept, that's terrible.
