Oxford Street by nebbish (4.00 / 1) #11 Mon Jul 17, 2006 at 04:46:10 AM EST

Even cycling down it on Saturday was a nightmare, the buses were so close together you couldn't get between them, and just had to sit there waiting and breathing in the fumes.

You're better off walking than getting the bus on a normal day, they take ages.

Cold Skin sounds interesting: wishlisted.

It's political correctness gone mad!

Need to get rid of the buses, replace with a tram by jump the ladder (4.00 / 2) #12 Mon Jul 17, 2006 at 05:18:58 AM EST

Seriously, the air is horrid with all the diesel fumes. The only problem is that Oxford St is a major east-west axis of London so you'd have to rejig half thwe bus system.

Hybrids would work by squigs (4.00 / 1) #14 Mon Jul 17, 2006 at 05:50:52 AM EST

They tend to use the battery at low speed and are most efficient with the stop start nature of buses on busy roads.

You could actually manage a complete electrical system if you could find a practical way to recharge at each stop.

: fuel cell by garlic (4.00 / 1) #16 Mon Jul 17, 2006 at 12:07:24 PM EST

Busses are a good case for fuel cells since many of the drawbacks of a fuel cell for a car doesn't have the same effect in a bus.
