I am concerned about proposals to abolish floating bus stops without a proper assessment of where the danger points are and of whether they can be adapted to improve safety for everybody—pedestrians and cyclists. Maybe the danger points and the potential remedies are not the same at all floating bus stops; they might depend on the number of pedestrians, the time of day and the proportion of visitors. Maybe there are potential changes, as have been mentioned by speakers already, to ensure that cyclists slow down or stop as they approach a floating bus stop when a bus is there. Surely it would be sensible to engage in a more detailed evaluation of both the problems and the potential solutions before making a decision on this issue.
