evidence: The introduction of Glider has provided a modern, safe, accessible, efficient and high quality public transport service which has encouraged more people to travel by public transport instead of the private car. [...] In order to provide more reliable journey times, Glider halts are around 400 metres apart. Where there are key locations of high demand, halts are closer together. This means that the number of bus stops on the BRT routes was reduced by about a third. [...] Optimum priority is given to Glider vehicles at signalised junctions to ensure reliable journey times. BRT bus lanes are generally 3 metres wide and have been resurfaced over the majority of the route to ensure a high ride quality. Adjoining footways have also been reconstructed to improve the surface for pedestrians. Improvements have been made to surface drainage systems with more extensive use of side inlet gullies to further enhance ride quality, reduce road noise and prevent damage to the ironwork.
