Default Suggestion for easing Oxford Street traffic nightmare.

When buses enter OS they become part of a shuttle, travelling in single file
and not overtaking or needing to pull in.
All traffice lights crossing the street will turn red together stopping
movement on the whole of OS while traffic crosses. Meanwhile all the busses
will open doors and allow entry or egress to passengers at the same time.


So, if there are no bus stops, how do you know where to wait for your
bus? Do you just hang around near some traffic lights and hope they
turn red as your bus approaches?



It's all too elaborate. They should follow existing examples, ie
whenever the pavements in Oxford Street get too crowded, all access to
the street should be blocked off, allowing people to disperse safely
into the Underground.
