Samenvatting
This short paper explores the concept of obtaining improved journey times for bus passengers by the provision of two lane busways, on the Runcorn model, funded by permitting controlled numbers of toll-paying motorists on to the facility. This busway is a 7.3m strip of uncongested road, located in a relevant congested urban traffic corridor. The alignment could be wholly new, but more likely the route would be a hybrid, partly on roads where improvement schemes exist, and also possibly on disused railway rights of way or on routes where L.R.T. has been proposed but funding is not available.
