But how many makes a full car? It might make people dump their 7 seater MPVs and all go out and by Westfields, and other 2 seaters!

Well that's even better -- they'll be going faster and spending less time on the road per journey.

And isn't that preferable to a sick-ridden bus?.......

The return of the Bubble Car, such as the Bamby, the Messerschmitt, Isetta, Vespa and Heinkel or even models from Bond, Berkeley, Meadows Frisky, Peel, Reliant, AC Petite and Scootacar? Or even a Pasquale:



Or maybe the Xtra Cyclecar:

I disagree. Just remove all bus lanes and congestion will be greatly reduced. Furthermore, bus lanes were laid over roads which are maintained by our taxes, and as such should be accessible by all.

If bus lanes are to stay, then bus lanes should be paid for by the bus companies.
If that is not sustainable, then increase bus fares.
If that is not sustainable, then remove bus lanes, easy!

Remove the bus lanes. Most London bus lanes have reduced two lane roads to single lanes, thus transforming flowing arteries into congested capillaries.

Bus lanes are only acceptable on new roads designed for them. They are an outrage otherwise.
