A US visitor to Cyprus negotiates the bus system By Malia Chung Since my arrival in Nicosia two weeks ago, I’ve tried to avoid Cyprus Public Transport (CPT). In part, this decision was a result of the island’s immense hospitality, as friends have consistently offered me free rides to places…
Wow, that’s insane. I feel like a lot of these problems are similar to my hometown of Brisbane, Australia. Very car centric and sprawling, almost nobody walks if they can help it.
Adding real time tracking for buses and dedicated bus lanes was massively helpful and really improved the system - from personal experience, knowing exactly where my bus was helped me plan how to get to the stop in time to catch the buses to university.
It sounds like if they did something similar here, it would be a big increase in ridership - knowledge is power!
