It will involve the construction of a dedicated new road for buses.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=BBC News )〕 MetroBus is part of a wider package of transport infrastructure improvements in the West of England which have been designed to help unlock economic growth, tackle poor public transport links in South Bristol, long bus journey times and high car use in the North Fringe of the city and M32 motorway corridor. MetroBus vehicles will have priority over other traffic at junctions and use a combination of segregated busways and bus lanes. The buses will be hybrid buses with twin doors, one for boarding and one for exiting, in order to shorten stop times. The scheme's promoters claim that it will reduce journey times by up to 75 per cent between Long Ashton Park & Ride and Hengrove.〔 Three routes are proposed: *Ashton Vale to Temple Meads (AVTM) *North Fringe to Hengrove (NFHP) *South Bristol Link In Bristol city centre, MetroBus will remodel significant areas by the Cenotaph to create more space for pedestrians. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MetroBus (Bristol)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
