Peter: About the Bus Lanes and buses being unreliable: i dont think we should give them a chance at being reliable. they should be banned alltogether. they clog up the road, carry very few people, make out that your doing something wrong by not giving them right of way when they dont have it, and, even though i am not an Enviornmentalist nut, they produce too many Carbon Dioxides. one bus with 80 people produces slightly less carbon dioxides per person then 80 cars. but if there are only 60 people on that bus, each person is producing more than if they drove!
I am not saying your wrong: buses could work, but, do we really want them to? would you give up your daily commute of 20 - 40 min in your nice, warm comfortable private car to be stuck in a bus for the same amout of time with other people, who are just as pissed off as you? i know i wouldent...
