Safe Speed Forums

Has no one thought about building multi-storey car parks around the outskirts of (say) Manchester for instance and instead of "Trams" which can,t pass obstructions or divert round accidents etc. why not use trolley buses which could run from out of town car parks and have the flexibility of (to a point) modern buses as the majority of the "infrastructure" i.e. lamp posts etc. for cables is already in place and would cost a lot less than trams to install / operate.

The obvious thing would be that they would only operate at times such as from say 6am to 8pm then the roads would be less congested for all the delivery vehicles during the day which would speed up all the deliveries to companies in central M/cr. and have the added bonus of reducing the fumes stc. from diesel buses.
