so thats why its rammed full non stop? Both of them? :D and the Big one the M1 has not even started. ( its the "star" of the show) starts in january 2019
Sat nav tells you to turn off next junction for stoke Lane slip off. You look up and there it is. The signage is perfectly designed to catch you out as when sat nav tells you to turn you have past the first two signs on the motorway then you have no chance to pull back on motorway. Unless you reverse, no chance. This is completely unfair for unfamiliar drivers to the area. The council needs to reset the signage. RIP off !!
I actually thought this was a joke video. Where's the guided busways? Why run a service to, what appears to be, open countryside? Every 20 minutes? Is that considered to be a good frequency then? is that frequent? 3 buses an hour - seriously? Only between 06:00 and 21:30? Isn't this costing £230 million pounds and yet the areas that need a decent bus service like Brislington, St George and Kingswood are being ignored because - well you can't run any bus service on the roads there anyway. So buses, that use main roads, aren't the solution. Which would suggest that buses, period, aren't the solution. What is the obsession with joining South Gloucestershire with northern Somerset anyway? If you live more than 500 yards from the route, you're going to get a normal bus or drive...what was the point?
I agree, what a load of absolute s*ite. Like you, I thought there were supposed to be guided busway things where the buses would be independent of traffic, apart from a really small section coming off the M32 into Frenchay the buses are at the mercy of the horrendous Bristol traffic. How is this any different to what we had already? Like you say doesn't even cover half the city. They had been talking about building a light rail system since the 70s that never materialised, the cycle track which would have been ideal to use as part of it now has the ring road covering over half of it and houses over a lot of other bits of it. Public transport, well public services in general in Bristol are a complete joke!
the guided busways are on the metro M2 the M1 that launches this winter and the A1 Airport Flyer bus :) This video shows the M3 which is an express service from centre to the UWE University(students had to take buses that took 1 hour to get to UWE, now its down to 15-20 minutes) than it uses the ring road to follow the very edge of the city. Trying to get people to commute out from the city to the edge instead of inwards, thus clogging it up more. the M2 takes 25-30 minutes max from end to end and is very very busy. if you catch not a metrobus say from Emersons green where this thing starts/ends, this journey is 1 hour ish. Hope this helps :)
