Too many bus stops in london?
Helen Deborah Vecht wrote in message ...
(Boltar)typed Stuck in a traffic jam again this morning caused (surprise surprise) by a bus crawling along the road and stopping in the middle of it even when it could pull into the bus stop, Knowing that, if he pulled into a bus stop, London's considerate drivers would not let him out. Irrelevant. He's supposed to pull into stops. If he doesn't then he's not doing his job properly aside from the fact that it risks boarding passengers getting hit by undertaking cyclists or bikers. They are only closely spaced when separated by major junctions that are difficult to cross on foot IME. Otherwise, the spacing is closer to 400 metres. 400 metres? You must be joking. Not from what I've seen. Are the people who use the bus too bone idle to be able to walk more than the length of a football pitch to get to the stop? I AM NOT BONE IDLE; I AM DISABLED! Then how do you fit your wheelchair on the bus then in the rush hour? And why can't you use one of those special council run disabled services? Another way of reducing jams in London would be to reduce unnecessary car journeys. Some however are necessary. (And anyone who tells me that I should be in the bus instead of my car anyway can just save their typing right now because if they think I'm changing twice and spending probably 90 mins in 3 juddering buses and waiting in the rain to travel 9 miles they're living in dreamland. If the tube or train was an option I'd use them but they arn't.) Get a bicycle then. Thanks for the standard issue right-on reply. Very helpful. Besides I don't fancy cycling on the north circular as I'd rather like to live for more than a week and aside from which I doubt my boss would appreciate me arriving sweaty/wet/tired/ill. B2003 |
