Buses, Central London (Bunching)

HC Deb 20 October 1954 vol 531 c181W

113. Mr. Russell

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation to what extent the running of buses on the same route in groups of three or four in central London increases traffic congestion.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

Bunching of buses in central London is caused primarily by traffic congestion. Traffic conditions vary so much that I cannot estimate the extent to which bunching itself makes this congestion.
