The local authorities need to provide major and significantly beneficial bus priority.
However, as we all know, promoting the bus over the car and throwing money that goes against the private motorist isn't a vote winner, so nobody will do it and we end up with slow public transport and frequency reductions to permit reinvestment of running time.
You're so right, the ironic part of it all, is the congestion is being caused by cycle lanes being stuck in everywhere, in completely inappropiate places. I'm all for cycle lanes but not at the cost of public transport and it's not the first time either.
