A new bus lane is planned to be made in Fishponds.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
This morning it has been reported that in Fishponds
new bus lanes and routes are to be created.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
They will do this by
demolishing parking spaces and putting new bus stops in their place. The
bus company states that it is to speed up public transport but local
people and shop owners say that it only takes around 30 minutes to get
into the town. |

They also say that it will cost even more
because bus stops, zebra crossings and traffic signals will need to be
replaced to enable the buses to come by. An owner of a local shop has
recently gathered the views of 40 local residents. The results of this
were; 30 people say they are worried about the plans to
|
|
| |
|
|
|
create the bus lanes. Local shop owners are
complaining that this will decrease the amount of customers that come
into their shops. Also local people claim that some buses go past with
only 2 or 3 people on, so this will just take up time and needed space.
Some claim that there are only 10 parking spaces and by building a bus
lane it will take these away.

|
| |
|
|
|
However some people have a positive attitude
towards this and say it’s needed as soon as
possible.
