Sir, To clear Queen Street in Oxford of its bus congestion, simply change the bus routes so that they start and terminate outside the city centre. This would remove the need for buses to park for any longer than required to set down and pick up passengers. Their estimated time of arrival would be posted by the bus tracking information system.
After a period of time taken to detect trends, it would be possible to make allowances for traffic congestion at different times of the day to achieve a more regular timetable. It would allow the connection of communities on opposite sides of the city with a single route thus obviating the need to change buses as at present. Why not link Kidlington to Didcot or Cumnor to Barton?
