The buses are already overcrowded and late every morning due to very heavy traffic along Cherry Hinton High Street, Queen Ediths Way and Hills Road. It can sometimes take 40 minutes just to get along the High Street due to more and more people using the service (which in principle is good but by the time a queue of people are processed, a whole lot more have joined the queue and it gets very frustrating) The inevitable increase in traffic in the High Street fills me with dread.
If all other traffic was banned from the High Street, the Citi 1 buses would be able to run to time (but there would have to be more of them !). The cylce routes would then be safer to use. Although I do not use the number 17 route, I have often thought that it is a shame it only runs as a limited service for the people who do need it.
