London's 7.1mph average bus speed is 'no faster than average jogging pace'

London’s buses are the workhorses of the capital, carrying millions of people every day, but they are being held back by worsening congestion and inconsistent road management. When buses are averaging little more than walking pace in some parts of the city, it is passengers, businesses and the wider economy that lose out. Slow buses are effectively expensive buses, as the longer a service takes to complete a route, the more buses, drivers, fuel, maintenance, depot space and staff are needed to maintain the same timetable.
