Key bus lanes across London are set to be in place for 24-hours a day
Transport for London has announced that it intends to make its trial of 24-hour bus lanes permanent, after findings showed journey times were cut on London's busiest roads.TfL hopes the improvements in bus journey times will make bus use more attractive and help encourage more Londoners onto buses.
The extended bus lane hours are also expected to benefit cyclists as they can ride in bus lanes without traffic. Speaking about the changes, Heidi Alexander, Deputy Mayor for Transport, said: "It's vital that buses remain a reliable, attractive option for travelling around the capital to help prevent increased congestion and worsening air quality.
"The extension of bus lane hours to 24 hours on London's busiest roads received a lot of support, and these changes will reduce bus journey times and help service reliability, helping people get around the city easily and sustainably."
