What's a guided busway?


It's an ordinary road bus which runs in a concrete channel. Sensors on the
bus detect the channel and do the steering. Because the bus is controlled
so precisely the busway can be narrower than an ordinary bus lane.

Sort of like a tram with an internal combustion engine, that doesn't need
tramlines.

They've got one in Edinburgh, goes past the Screwfix depot.


They tried one here a few years ago.. it was scrapped because its
unreliable.
