I wonder why they reserve them for only buses and don't open them up to other traffic when the bus isn't on it.
Kind of like a road

They wouldn’t work if they did that. The idea is to remove them from traffic and improve public transport performance in meeting the timetable.
I use the Leigh to manc one 2 minutes to the station then loads of pubs in manc
I reckon it should be extended to run Liverpool to Manchester

If they made the roads out of steel, the buses could go faster and smoother. And have more carriages on them
Ah but would they be running?

Of course... just not on the advertised schedule
Isn’t a bus on tracks a tram?
No a tram cannot travel on a normal road.
I have used used ours a lot, if i go the 12 miles to manc by car it can take upwards of an hour depending on time of day and then you have to park and pay, the bus takes 1/2 an hour tops outside rush hour, so 11-0-clock bus afternoon in some bars and cafes then home for tea fantastic, to get to liverpool it's Newton rail station to lime street
