| Ceinwen - sorry but the website is just full of moans and can be frustrating! I've raised things with TfL before. I remember writing to them TfL about the DRT bus trial. I didn't feel it had been advertised well enough. I knew people living just outside the area who had been trying to get the Council to organise it in their area but had failed. They were not on the internet to book it but this can be booked by phone as well. Since they weren't online they could not access info on all the services that were already running or were being trialled. They were dependent on Council action (Brent) which wasn't happening. The Ealing Slide bus was covering more Ealing than Chiswick or Brent but could easily have been adjusted depending on where people wanted to go. With the Mobikes the GPS could show what venues were most popular. Yes, we do all travel through and work and play in different boroughs which doesn't slways seem to be appreciated. It seems the sort of thing that could start small and then increase in size depending on popularity. I Cllr John Todd was chasing TfL via a GLA member as I recall to get a bus route reinstated which had been cancelled once Hammersmith Bridge had reopened to cyclists and pedestrians. Maybe it is worthwhile contacting him to ask the question? |
