Default These writhing whales of the road have swung their hefty rearends round our corners for the final time.

Costly and time consuming. Why not just use a more suitable bus?


Show us your working out - you need to do the roadwork *once*, you need
to pay the extra cost of less cost-effective buses *every year forever*.
By your logic you shouldn't put in bus lanes, either, since you're
discounting the upside of providing a better bus service in any
cost/benefit calculation.

The degree of mental contortion needed to join the bendy jihad never
ceases to amaze.
