Comment: open bus lanes

Given the evidence it is right that the Mayor, Boris Johnson, has told TfL to go ahead with plans to extend the scheme across London. Obviously, cyclists will worry about the presence of motorcyclists but since the pilot tests have proved that all road users, including pedestrians, are actually safer as a result of opening up bus lanes, that is the right way to go. And if the extension of the scheme does not reduce accidents, then the decision can and should be reversed.
