Could be true thing is though I drive the bus and there making it harder for us to get in and out the city centre and across it on a 50 or 38 In many places the work they have done has made it so much more dangerous Once they opened Oxford rd at the MRI after the work was done there was like 3 knock downs in 1 week. Not only to mention there is no enforcement of oxford rd as of yet. So its a free for all and the lanes are so narrow Also we unable to over take each other so soon as a Magic bus stops thats it until they loaded etc then Rushomle is Hell and isnt strictly wide enough for a Bus then they add parking and that makes it even worst. Then you get to Portland st where in the last few weeks Lots of Cars have ended up in the Bus station and thats another No car zone they put the Cameras up then took them down a week later.

Something that would help improve the traffic flow in all the areas is some Requlation on the Taxis some of its them Stopping in bus stops on oxford rd . stopping to pick up in the single lane of the road works etc

They do need to rethink what they have done to the city centre as people arnt gonna use the tram or bus if we struggle to get into the city centre.

Currently when football is on well we might as well not leave the depot as we not getting anywhere on time.

Sorry sorta went on the rant there but that's from my eyes as a bus driver.
and its not bias to the bus in anyway as if they done it proper everything would Flow
