they have missed off the P4 and 122 from that map!

edited to add: to be fair there are plenty of bus routes through our area (in my experience - aside from the absolutely appalling service from Bell Green Sainsbury's to Forest Hill which I only ever did twice as it was so bad). I think part of the problem is the amount of private vehicles on the road- it's fine where we have dedicated bus lanes but so many people have given up on public transport and use cars they are a BIG problem, Another massive problem I would say is the face that the South Circular goes round our area and carries so much commercial traffic.

If we had completely dedicated bus lanes on all routes it would keep the buses moving more efficiently and more buses could be run to cope with the amount of passengers

I hope tfl come up with some imaginative solutions soon as currently travelling by bus can be a deeply depressing experience. I will never drive as long as I live in London and am a long term public transport user and it has definitely got more crowded over the past 20 years
