What insanity is this? 27:03 One motorway for buses and another for other trafic. Buses only come every 10 minutes so that road is empty. Other trafic is stationary , bumper to bumper. Hardly efficient use of the road ways
Busways are more efficient at transporting people. More lanes almost never solve traffic issues because they still lead to the same bottlenecks, while a clear busway allows buses and other priority vehicles to bypass those bottlenecks (and accidents) and maintain higher service reliability, which benefits more people.
@@dumdumbinks274 They maybe more efficient at transporting people , but only from bus stop to bus stop not from where they are to their end destination. That;s why very few people use them. Look at this "bus station" 18:32 a massive new infrastructure and ONE PASSENGER waiting for the bus! Killometers of green country side turned into tarmack for these dedicated bus lanes costing taxpayers vast sums in initial investment and unending ongoing subsidies to run unfrofitable buses . Political correctness gone wild , and the politicians who decide these things use only cars.
@@oz93666Mm. Sure. "Let's justify our argument by only looking at off-peak usage and minor inconveniences such as having to wait at a bus stop". During peak hours those buses are full even when there's a bus every 3-5min, and they arrive at their final destinations about 10min faster than cars do using the motorway. Buses aren't supposed to be directly profitable, rather a reliable service brings a major economic benefit to the locations it stops at, and many people use them because it's cheaper and faster than trying to find a park in the CBD.
The NX2 is every 10 minutes, the NX1 is every 10 minutes. Then its many other shore routes some on uber-high peek frequency also. So that's at least 10-20 buses per hour peak plus many more chucked into the mix. That is about 20 x 35 = 700 cars that would've been wasted if this was a car lane per hour.
@@joshuahill5271 700 / 60 = 11.6, so about 11 cars per minute ? that seems really low amount of time between cars , 1 car per 10 seconds, or 10 seconds of space between cars.. easily enough to unblock any traffic. 1564 cars can travel per lane at 100kph (max capacity for a lane at that speed)
