Go North East: Service Suggestions v2
Go North East: Service Suggestions v2
(04 Jan 2020, 11:28 pm)Adrian What makes you think that there are too many buses in Newcastle?
The suggestion it would improve traffic flow, safety and air quality, I cannot disagree with, but why are we blaming buses for all this? The traffic flow of buses would dramatically increase if a tariff was imposed on private cars, and you'd get away with a permanent closure on Blackett Street for example, which would improve safety.
The amount of private hire vehicles in Newcastle, particularly on a night, suggests to me that there's either not enough buses or they're not convenient enough to meet customer demands.
