Ihave more than a suspicion that 'they' are intent upon forcing us to use the buses as eventually car lanes will be -literally-squeezed out.
Along the Foleshill road just past the sky blue ribbon monument , the road is immediately and ridiculously narrowed (single track) by the bus lane and can be quite tricky to negotiate at busy times when cars are coming from the bypass at speed.
More people would use the buses if , a, they were reliable , and b, if they were cheaper.
I am quite sure that if the fares were a lot lower many more people would use them. To be able to hop on and off at a reasonable cost like we did in the old days -------well it's only a dream isn't it.
