@@Seagull81006 I didn't know there was one in Bristol. I've only seen two guided busways, and both were short. One is in Bradford, I think it was on the Wakefield Road. I used to see it from the coach when returning to London. There was one guideway, so it could only be used in one direction, but that direction wasn't the same for all sections of it. The other was in Crawley, and was even shorter. I'm not sure if it is still in use because I have never seen a bus on it. I used to see buses fitted with guidewheels at Redhill which were presumably for use on this system, but I haven't seen any fitted with them for a few years.
So let me get this right. One tssr of a bike rider using the bus roadway rather than the huge wide path to the left holds up, a bus of 50-60 people. Okaaaaay. And the bus stops not built 'offroad' so a bus behind can continue round it if it doesn't need to stop. Wow just wow.
Cyclists are encouraged to cycle in bus lanes throughout the city. But regardless, the bus could have overtaken the cyclist but clearly chose not to given the light was red anyway.
That isn't true,since Stagecoach bought 12 E400 XLBs for the Cambridgeshire Busway and there 100 seaters + there tri axled,replacing the dual axle E400s
Bristol is too big to solely rely on a BRT. A Tram/Tram-Train would be been more more logical than Metrobus. Heck, bite the bullet and potentially pull a Merseyrail style system with trains to Bath and Gloucester as well as suburban lines (like Severn beach + Portishead/Henbury)
The £230 million wasted on this should have been spent sorting out our existing congestion issues. Their 'smart' long term solution to that is to just ban vehicles altogether.
This is a fantastic scheme. I wouldn't say it provides the perfect solution for all mass transit schemes but if flexibility, ease of operation and cost are high on your list of priorities then this is it.
WTAF? Bristol.... put down the spliff. Go over to Adelaide and say you're very sorry but you'd like to learn how to build an O-bahn, please. Jesus wept, that's terrible.

Why do the guide rails keep cutting in and out?
On the corners of all places!
I thought the same thing. It seems completely pointless having them. Surely the driver has to slow down when entering and leaving guided sections.
On the Adelaide one except at stops they have the guide rails. Even on bends. Kinda defeats the purpose of a guided busway.
Because this metrobus crap is a gigantic waste of money and time
The small breaks in the guided sections are for pedestrian crossings.
Is this the entire kerb guided busway in Bristol? Only one bus route using kerb guided busway? Or is there more on the other Metrobus routes?
I’m not sure to be honest. This was the bus I used from the airport to the city centre, and I only used it once.
That is it i believe

A double decker bus can hold 100 people not 50
@@CreatorPolar cool.

That's cyclists for you.

The sections are so short lol how stupid I really thought it would be longer
Not an efficient system as too many bends to make it effecient

Then nobody would go into the city centre lol. The long term play should have been to create a Tyne & Wear metro system.
All the expense of a tram and all the capacity restraints and discomfort of a bus. The worst of both worlds.
i really dont understand why it is just small sections it wastes so much time and the road is bus only anyway so so pointless
White elephant.
