We already have a "superloop"

But it must be done in stages and expanded gradually like a tube map?


Rebrand the the Metro rail replacement bus route as a "Superloop"

Basically a 15 or 20 minute service stops at every bus stop on the metro replacement route for example the north tyneside loop....

This is beneficial if you say live in between stops... too far to walk from Four Lane Ends to Forest Hall Metro but only 2 stops away and live in the middle type of thing....


If the metro is off ticket acceptcence is immediately applied with extra buses on route to provide capacity

Superloop buses can divert off say from South Gosforth do a loop to Freeman hospital and back on route to FLE creating a connection for hospital appointment patients even a cheeky before and after FLE a 3 min trip to qurorum creating links and making the superloop connect working areas


Over time you can then integrate superloops say from NBL PARK to whitley and North Tyneside hospital or Newsham station to Cramlington Hospital direct

Integration is the key but I think the rail replacement stopping at every stop is the foundation

This could even be the 24hr network idea too
