(*still not on @bsky.app)
Congestion page... Solution There needs to be a multi-pronged approach to tackle congestion, including: • Strengthening the role of the Roadworks Commissioner and regional transport partnerships to coordinate roadworks regionally • Bolstering parking and bus lane compliance by ensuring that enforcement legislation and penalties are designed to achieve the required outcomes • Investing in bus priority measures • Progressing demand management legislation that requires local authorities to take specific actions by a deadline, similar to the prohibition of pavement parking in the Transport (Scotland) Act 2019 Invest in infrastructure that prioritises buses and sustainable travel Following on from investment and improvements in public transport, deliver measures to reduce car dependency, including pricing mechanisms and targeted disincentives Cover page of SEStran manifesto asks..

Start of the LTT article... ‘Car traffic is the problem, not buses vs bikes’ says LCC's Munk In the last issue, LTT reported on London’s declining bus services, and what was needed to improve them. Simon Munk of the London Cycling Campaign offers his assessment. 05 March 2026 Simon Munk Simon Munk London’s bus speeds are dropping and ridership is directly tied to bus journey times. Transport for London (TfL) has said (and the last issue of LTT reiterated this) that “for every 10% reduction in speed, there is a 6% drop in demand” for buses in London. These are undisputed facts. What is disputed is why bus speeds keep dropping and what to do about that and falling ridership. Looking at Government data1 for bus ridership inside London versus the rest of England, you can see a remarkable pattern. London has been criticised for its extensive cycling infrastructure, nearly all arriving post 2013, but despite few other urban areas in the UK delivering anything like the changes London has seen, bus ridership in the capital very closely correlates to that across England. 2nd half of article... Indeed, the London bus ridership trajectory overtakes England’s in the post 2013 period and recovered quicker post-pandemic, despite London putting in hundreds of active travel schemes during it. So, if cycling’s not the issue, what is? Here’s some uncomfortable questions for those who blame cycling… 1. Why are private motor traffic volumes rising nationally and indeed in London? What can we do to stop that? Hint: road-user charging. The Clean Cities campaign2 points out that post-peak evening driving in central London is now higher than morning peak – people are choosing to drive more when congestion charging is suspended. 2. What can we do to get rid of more parking or loading on TfL’s red routes and make more bus lanes 24/7? Why is TfL behind on its ‘bus priority action plan’? And why is it so weak? And why have TfL Buses never championed major successful bus gate schemes such as on Bishopsgate, Bank Junction and Stoke Newington Church Street? These were largely promoted as active travel measures. 3. How should TfL deal better with bus delays at junctions? The plan currently appears to be to increase motor vehicle capacity through junctions, as buses are often mixed in with it, despite ‘induced demand’ and risks to safe active travel. Surely giving buses separate priority at junctions is key? 4. What other factors are even considered? Most changes clearly slowing down buses (roadworks, internet shopping, post-pandemic driving for leisure) appear to have nothing to do with cycling. And what about junction redesigns that (rightly) prioritise pedestrian safety? Without coherent answers, we’ll be stuck with an endless and unseemly scrap for capacity between cycling (and walking) and buses that still serves all those modes poorly. 1 https://tinyurl.com/4a5ksfsm 2 https://tinyurl.com/7u3n5ne8 photo showing bike and bus lanes in London, via London Cycling Campaign

🤔 Private Hire Vehicles in #BusLanes

Report to Transport Cttee 13 Nov--> democracy.edinburgh.gov.uk/documents/s9...

Spokes deputation attached

👍 Pleased to see Convener @stephenjenkinson.bsky.social opposes

@edi.bike @edinburghbug.bsky.social @paulwhite-cpt.bsky.social @lothianbuses.bsky.social
CEC Transport & Environment Committee 13.11.25 7.4 Bus Lanes and Bus Gates - Consideration of Permitting Access to Private Hire Vehicles Spokes deputation - 13 November 2025 Summary Further to our deputation for TEC on 15.08.2024 regarding this issue, Spokes would like to reiterate our strong opposition to the use of bus lanes and bus gates by private hire vehicles. Introducing more vehicles into bus lanes, making them less safe for cyclists and busier for buses, is the exact opposite of the intended actions of this project, as well as various council policies. Private hire vehicles are not allowed to use bus lanes in London, and private hire firms have lost legal action against this (Case C-518/13 - European Court of Justice). Edinburgh should continue to follow suit. The Council’s 7-7-7 bus lane project and plans for Bus Infrastructure Fund investments have already progressed vastly slower than comparable measures in other cities. Cities in the UK and Europe have made these changes in a matter of months, not years. The priority should now be to implement bus priority measures as soon as possible, rather than looking to allow further vehicles into bus lanes or through bus gates. We therefore urge councillors to reject this motion and for the council to prioritise investment in officer time and money be reallocated towards implementing agreed council policies that have already been debated but are yet to be actioned.
