Wider roads and bus lanes would also be achievable, and should be a lot

A few bus lanes on the North Circular either side of Henlys Corner would
help too.



Bus bus bus. While the nation's public transport planning involves
such a skanky form of transport, the car will still rule. There's a
chance that people going to Brent Cross will use their gold/travel
cards up or down from St Albans, Watford, and the lines inward, and
transfer onto a DLR-style system. They are going to drive if it
involves a bus.

People will tollerate public transport (reliabilty and cost issues
aside) in the form of trains and planes. They dont use buses. Buses
are a distress purchase, the kind of clientelle they attract are
either old or scum, even compared to things like the NLL or Watford DC
line.
