Almost a decade after they were scrapped five new lanes could be reintroduced under a new scheme
In a bid to deliver greener journeys and tackle congestion on the bus network, priority lanes could be introduced across Liverpool as part of a new transport plan to be adopted by the city council next week. Back in October 2014, then-Mayor Joe Anderson pressed ahead with plans to do away with bus lanes throughout the city following a year-long trial.
As part of this, priority bus lanes could be adopted on five of the busiest routes in the wider city region, including the 10A Liverpool to St Helens, the 86 from Liverpool to Speke and John Lennon Airport, the 53 service from Liverpool to Bootle and Crosby, the 79 route from Liverpool to Halewood and Widnes, as well as the 20/21 from Liverpool to Kirkby, Tower Hill.
Currently, 62% of journeys across Merseyside are taken by car. The city council hopes the wide-ranging four year plan can shift attitudes away from getting behind the wheel.
