The eastern busway is currently set to run from Doncaster Road through to Hoddle Street.
However, it is currently planned to be 2 single lanes going in opposite directions with no spacing or barriers between buses passing at 100km an hour.
The safety of drivers and passengers must always be our top priority when creating more public transport options or making existing transport more efficient.
What has been proposed for this busway simply isn’t safe.
