Metro or Sprint? And the 4 Bs to deter car commuters
How do you decide when to put in a tram that UK Tram (at your HQ at 16 Summer Lane?) has described as "a bus on rails" ('Today' interview at the time of the 2016 Croydon tram crash when 11 died out of 69 passengers) on a dedicated bus lane with steel tracks or, a Sprint (the bus that thinks its a tram) on an additional dedicated bus lane without steel tracks?
Does both mean taking front gardens, landscaping, car parking, drives for the new lane? Like the planned felling of 1,000 trees/shrubs for the Hagley Road Metro extension to the Kings Head, Bearwood?
Would the existing, nearside lane dedicated to bus and pre-registered business users be more helpful in weaning car commuters into Platinum buses to free up road space for genuine, essential business users - with traffic light priority for them? Bus/business lanes covered by cameras to catch the driver who only commutes to avoid using the bus, train, tram even when Fare-Free Public Transport is the BIG BRIBE
2 Bs = bus on rails, the bus that thinks its a tram,
plus bus, business = 4 in total.
Or, 6 if you include Big Bribe!
