Yes, the Essen O-Bahn is in this video too. Stage 1 - alongside Fulerumer Strasse and in the middle of the road in Wickenburgerstrasse. Stage 2 - Wittenbergstrasse in the Stadwald (city forest) Stage 3 - the A430 ‘Ruhrschnellweg‘ Krayer Strecke urban motorway (and Wasserturm stop added later) Stage 4 / 5 - underground through several stations shared with trams. The new buses are low floor 2.55m wide Mercedes / Citaro 'Facelift' ordered in 2007? Or are there even more? Simon
Well done Simon, nice bit of film, very informative.... You forgot to mention the one in Cambridge, which opened 7th August 2011., apparenty the longest one in the world!
Many British guided busways were built on the basis of being public highway 'improvement works' which created traffic lanes on which a 'buses only' restriction had been placed. This was seen as a dodge around government investment regulations which designed to make 'fixed track' transports (especially trams) extremely expensive. Because people will switch to trams, causing a reduced income from motoring fuel taxes our treasury is vehemently 'anti-tram' (and trolleybus).
The English translation of the writing on the side of the German O-Bahn bus: "Sicher fahren, gut ankommen" is "Safe(alternately means Sure) travel, good arrival"
@utterbullspit Who the treasury? Probably not. Anyway, they know more about whats going on than the public - and the causes. Whats coming happens approx. every 13000 years, the Georgia Guidestones are for afterwards. Note the target population figure. Have you see the David Icke / Jesse Ventura film 'The End Game' here on youtube? Google is your friend here.

A nostalgic trip back to the 1990s!
The works on Hackney Rd have commenced.
Love the music those hubs make

Looks like the DLR track lol, its pretty awesome!
How fast does it go? 150km ?
100km/h and the police have been known to use hand held speed cameras to enforce this limit!
100km/h is about 60mph ,quite safe for a guided bus, could be more exciting.
you forgot to mention my guided busway kanes guided busway
I can't believe the courts ruled the o-bahn a road and limited the speed at which they could travel.

Is 100km not fast enough? Buses are generally limited to 100km anyway
