Key benefits

Watch a video of Read about the changes made to the Showcase corridors

The key benefits of the new showcase corridors are:

• New bus priority measures - such as bus only lanes and traffic lights which turn green as the bus approaches.
• New bus shelters, larger bus timetable displays with more detailed information and raised kerbs to improve access.
• New buses - our partners First have invested £20m in more than 120 new buses
• Real time information - displays at bus stops which tell you when the bus is due to arrive in real time.
• Improvements for all road users - such as cycle lanes, new pedestrian crossings and general road widening

Improvements on the two new corridors, Cribbs Causeway to Bristol and Filton to Emersons Green, include: 

• Over 70 improved bus stops with new shelters and raised kerbs
• 35 bus stops at key locations with real time information that tells you when the bus is due
• 6 new bus lanes to improve reliability
• 2 new priority vehicle lanes for buses, car sharers, taxis, motorcyclists and heavy good vehicles to improve reliability and congestion
• Changes to 5 junctions so the traffic lights go green when a bus approaches
• 19 new buses dedicated to these routes

There is a map and timetable information for the services on these two new corridors.
