Transport Database and Photogallery Mercedes-Benz O530 #831

15 march 2010 - Oxford, Queen Street. On one hand the council in Oxford is very progressive when it comes to public transport. They built large P&R places, they made the operators reduce the number of buses in the city centre due to congestion, and they pedestrianised this bus-only street in the centre. On the other hand, they do not think about electric public transport at all - attaching the wires to the historic buildings or constructing poles in the narrow streets in the centre. And sadly - as the photo shows - when you have pedestrianised areas with buses the pedestrians always prefer to get into the shot rather than walk on the 'roadway'.

You might stick up wires on Queen Street, but I think the council is very wise not to pick fights with the dons of 500-year old colleges elsewhere in town. Change things? They haven't allowed much of that in half a millennium and they're hardly going to start now. Battery buses might be an option and I'm sure that once they become viable Oxford will go for them.

Battery busses? You speak about Solaris in Britain? Nah, it's a song of a long future.
