Speaking in the House of Lords on 11 February 2025

Debate

Bus Services (No. 2) Bill [HL]

Contribution

Amendments 38, 43 and 45A concern floating bus stops. Amendment 38 seeks to reduce interactions between cyclists and pedestrians using bus stops, and Amendment 43 seeks to require authorities to adhere to the statutory guidance relating to floating bus stops. Taken together, they would require the Secretary of State to issue statutory guidance requiring that buses stop adjacent to the kerb at bus stops to allow passengers to board or alight directly from the pavement and would further require that passengers can continue their journeys without crossing cycle tracks or using pavements which incorporate them.
