No more bus lanes

How much do buses cost per journey there? With the Oyster card here, any single journey costs no more than £1.40, which no doubt contributes to the 6 million journeys made each day. Quite often in rush hour you'll struggle to even get on them they're so busy. Having bus lanes in that scenario is perfectly sensible.
Where I grew up though buses are madly expensive, so no one uses them. Having them in this however less so.

If it means they lower bus fees, I'm all for it
A day pass on a bus near me is £4, I'm not sure what it is in Liverpool but I imagine it's similar

I feel they cause more problems than they solve in Old Swan as the bus lane makes it pretty much a single lane all the way through and there's way too much traffic at rush hour

moneymaker, folk get used to being able to drive in the lane then they change it back again and hit loads with fines.
Round here they are building a 'Guided Busway' into Manchester because there isn't a rail link, it's costing an absolute feckin fortune tbh, for me an extra lane on the A580 East Lancs Rd that could be used by normal vehicles at certain times as well would be far better than this thing for specialised vehicles. Might as well build a monorail or feckin chairlift tbh

This.
It encourages me to jib off the bus and drive in.
Same in Liverpool. It's £1.70 for a student single or £4 all day. Not the best.
Plus it's always like a sauna on the bus, it's horrible, I'd rather walk.
Be able to drive down lime street and get out of town without having to go all the way arjnd the back of even better to left after the tunnel and go up by queens square. I'm all for it

Good for car drivers
Bad for bus/taxi passengers
They were a decent idea to increase and help public transport passengers but most people would still rather drive their own car so they prob caused congestion and didn't achieve their aim.
They never really bothered me but I rarely get the bus so happy to see them go,plus I won,t be worrying in case i get a fine for driving in one of them.

No, far from it.
I do have to get from A to B to C to D and back to A again everyday, with each point of contact varying day to day.
I'm hoping to find an improvement at peak times at least.

Are you on the meals on wheels mate ? You seem to,do a lot of coming and going
No, again far from it. My job is not the focus of this thread - that would be the temporary suspension of bus lanes in Liverpool.
I for one am glad to see the back of them, albeit temporarily.
