To continue to build roads will continue the problem. The answer
is
puvblic
transport, but public transport cannot cater for all journeys
and
therefore
over time journeys will need to become more corridored. For
example
go
into
any city during the am peak and the tidality of the flow is
there
to
be
seen. IF we were to get all of the people from their cars onto
public
transport, or even better living nearer to the workplace, the
congestion
would be far less.

cars. Without cars on the urban road network public transport
would
be
faster and more reliable.

How fast would urban public transport be with no cars
on the road? (and no vans, cycles, taxis etc. if that helps).

Is this a question, is it not obvious enough.

It will be exactly the travel time + the stops for pick up/drop off,
without
any delay occurring due to congestion,

And what will the travel speed be, and who long will
each stop take, and how frequently will the stops occur?
Or, alternatively, how fast would a typical journey be?




Well this depends upon the usage the frequency of buses, the congestion
levels. The reason for the introduction of bus lanes at intersections
was
to
advance the bus to the front of the queues thus gaining back on the
journey
speed to make up for stops.

And the bus lanes are useless, because they are full of prats in cars
queuing to turn left or go straight on at the lights....





They are only useless if abused, many local authorities are now introducing
cameras on buses to poilce the abuse. If bus lanes are clear as they are
supposed to be then they do work.
