Crawley has been in a state of utter chaos for three years
now with the set up of a guided bus system (Fastway)
and it looks like going on for at least another three.

Once fully operational it will serve a minute fraction
of the population at a huge cost.


Since its purpose is to get workers to Gatwick reliably, and the majority

of
the population in that part of the world work in Gatwick, that is hardly a
minute fraction of the population.


That's the nice theory.

In practice it starts in one estate (almost as far from Gatwick as you can
get), passes through another and the rest is over busy roads with no local
population.

Everyone else is stuck with 6 years of chaos and when its finished narrower
roads than they started out with.
