Congestion and inefficiencies – why the Regional Council wants to change its bus services
- Wellington Scoop
- Now that all the money has been spent to make the CBD friendlier and faster for buses (and less attractive for pedestrians) the Regional Council has discovered that the result is: congestion. “At least 140 buses per hour in the morning and evening peak,” Councillor Glensor told us on Monday. “Resulting in significant jams and delays,” said Councillor Ponter five days earlier. The council has also acknowledged, belatedly, that there are huge inefficiencies along the Golden Mile, caused by duplication of routes. And it has finally accepted what the rest of us have been seeing for months – what it delicately describes as the bunching effect of buses, particularly at Willis and Manners Streets. (Manners Street – where we were told that all problems would be fixed when buses were given priority.)
