Buses in Slow Lane * Australia - How a few cars do that
Councils are often outspoken critics of public transport, especially in the city, but State Transit has hit back, saying they could improve things by reducing on-street parkingBrisbane,Queensland,Australia -The Brisbane Times, by Jordan Baker -June 26, 2007: -- Removing on-street parking along Elizabeth Street in the city alone would make life easier for about 4600 passengers every day, said the chief executive of State Transit, John Lee... He called on the City of Sydney and other councils, such as Mosman Council, to consider the effect of parking on congestion and delays to bus services... On-street parking on either side of Elizabeth Street, for example, only fits about 20 cars paying $4.40 an hour. The stretch becomes a bus lane for about three hours in morning and evening peaks...
