Plans submitted for works on 'Northern Gateway'.
Removing the bus lane southbound, into the City, is a huge mistake.
This will add congestion and decrease reliability on services in the area, especially on Match Days (all jokes aside about SAFC's poor performance at present, impacting on the number of football fans visiting the Stadium of Light on Match Days!)
The council should be looking to increase bus priority and supporting the operators by building infrastructure to help decrease journey times and improve reliability. Only then will passenger numbers increase, for improvements to be made, rather than cutbacks and fare increases.
