Loads of whinging as it was going in about how it wouldn't work, but it seemed pretty good after it was up and running. Essentially you head down to a big underground station under downtown, only it's got buses AND light rail routed through it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19404#post-299641 Sat, 19 Jan 2019 09:18:26 +0000 jsh 299641@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Not sure how scientific a few Google maps traffic images really are, but it’s good to see examples of the corollary of induces demand. A shame it’s only temporary.</p> <p><em>In a few weeks, much of this capacity will be replaced by a new 3 billion dollar highway tunnel under downtown Seattle, but until then, the city will have to simply do without a big chunk of the highway system</em></p> <p>Perhaps they needn’t have spent all that?<br /> <a href="http://cityobservatory.org/seattle_carmaggedon/" rel="nofollow">http://cityobservatory.org/seattle_carmaggedon/</a> </p>
