Other measures to get more people on the buses are also being looked at
No-stopping ‘red route’ roads could come to Greater Manchester as transport chiefs ‘look at’ the concept which is common in London.
“Two-thirds of people in Greater Manchester drive at the moment, and you cannot blame them,” he said. “The public transport is not up to it. This is about providing people with choice — so we can drive it from two-thirds driving to it being closer to fifty-fifty.” Some 390 miles of red routes are in place in London, which were introduced in 1991. On those sections of road which have double red lines running alongside, it is illegal to stop at any time of day.
However, in terms of getting bus ridership up, the ‘game-changer’ has already happened in Greater Manchester, Mr Everitt continued. He added: “The game-changer for buses in London was the creation of the mayoralty in 2000.
