Not really, take look at Oxford Circus to see what happens when buses
are set free. Bus drivers in London are a menace to cyclists, often
overtaking with inches to spare, then pulling in and slamming the
brakes on. They are loud and stink. Taxi's aren't much better when it
comes to running you off the road. Private cars on the whole are fine,
the trouble makers are typically the ones in unregistered, unlicensed,
untaxed, uninsured cars that the cameras will no doubt help.

If you want to free the city up for walking and cycling, get rid of
buses.
