I think a proposed Princes St bus lane is a terrible idea, and the maths shows why. In practice, you might see no bus at all on a new bus lane for five to 10 minutes at a time. A fabulous new bus lane is a great way to be seen to be doing something to support public transport. But where is the angry mob loudly protesting at Dunedin’s lack of a bus lane? Making all bus stops big enough to actually fit a bus on them would be a start.
