• Question by: Joanne McCartney
• Meeting date: 20 July 2016

The figures demonstrate that too many buses are caught in congestion meaning that more buses are needed just to keep frequencies as they are - a very inefficient use of resources. This in turn causes wasted time and frustration for passengers, many of whom rely on this mode of transport. What steps can be taken to prevent buses being caught in congestion and thereby slowing this important mode of transport?
