South Birmingham Consultation 2017

Surely some of the blame should lie with Birmingham City Council and the Highways Agency for not providing enough bus priorities !

I agree, and that is a point I raised in my comments on the current Birmingham Bus Survey being undertaken by Birmingham City Council.

From reading various comments on social media, most people taking part will just complain about the usual: 'dirty buses', 'always late', 'don't feel safe', 'too expensive' etc. All valid concerns to raise, however there is naff all that the city council can do about those issues as they don't operate the bus services.

If nobody challenges the council with regards to poor highway management, and endless streams of disruptive "improvement works", as well as a failure to deliver adequate bus priority measures as part of these 'improvement works', the council will just assume that "everything is fine then" and just carry on as normal.

There is more about this survey on my website: http://westmidlandsbususers.co.uk/2019/02/birmingham-city-council-bus-survey-have-your-say/
