I'd prefer the money being spent on attracting punters on to buses because they do the things people want them to do and take them to the places they need to be, than on priority measures.
Personally I'd say decent bus priority would get more people off the road. If there's a traffic jam then the bus is very likely going in the direction where people are wanting to be.
If I was sitting in a car and watching buses bomb by while I had to wait for 15 minutes at some lights, it would be attractive. What wouldn't be attractive is following a bus for 15 minutes in the same traffic like the X7 at Matthew Bank then at Sandy Lane or the 306/308 at Corner House to just pick 2 routes.
The X7 at Sandy Lane is piss easy to fix aswell as they could open a bus gate coming from Peter Barratts.
