Bus Lane TFL Survey, Apathy from Bikers

[Stu]

Transport for London report little feedback (i.e. apathy) from motorcyclists in respect of the trial of motorbikes sharing bus lanes in London. In contrast, cyclists continue to lobby to have bikers banned again, despite little or no evidence of biker + cycle accidents since the trial began.

If we value the right to use bus lanes, and reduce our filtering risk, then participating in the survey may be to our advantage, especially as the London outcome is likely to guide what other UK cities do. This is the link to the very short TFL poll / survey:https://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/roadusers...s/default.aspx

I know this has been posted before but I can't find the thread. Perhaps this one could be stickied?
Please complete the survey in a positive light for bikers to continue to use them, otherwise we could just lose out to whoever shouts loudest rather than a decision being made on actual results.

Done and done.

And i even complained about cyclists. wooo me

I think they're always going to have more right to use them than us, so I can't see that being a winner

Survey done and thread stickied.

Well done for bringing this up again Stu, i dont think i'd seen it before now.

I think everyone who rides in London should make sure they fill in that survey.

just as a point of interest Colchester was one of the pilot towns for bikes,taxis and bicycles in bus lanes. We've had it for years now and it works very well. Lots of people sent lots of feedback to the borough council about how it seemed to work very well for everyone.
I know we're only a smallish town and certainly don't have the bus and taxi traffic to be found in that there London but we showed it can work. Buses, it seems to me have learnt to be observant. that's not guesswork - one runs right outside my house!
Good luck

Well make sure that once you fill in the survey you also add these comments in the box at the end

done despite only riding into town once every 2-3 weeks but enjoyed my last trip to Essential Rubber riding in the bus lanes!
