    Not true. Not even close. According to the article, the bus lanes would be built on existing infrastructure. The bridges exist, the right-of-way exists, there would be comparatively little political resistance, the cost would be MUCH lower. Also, maintenance costs would be much lower.

      But those aren’t going to do 180 km/h. No existing bus will achieve this kind of speed on a regular motorway. This is all just a bunch of hot air.

        I agree this this is never going to happen, but 110mph isn’t that fast.

          But there is no passenger bus that can go that fast and you’d have to build a completely separate track.
