Get a grip of our roads, buses and trains I will deliver bus, rail and roads to make travelling easier and cheaper.  Invest in quality road resurfacing and work with councils to fill those potholes.  Work with bus companies to increase services and routes. If no progress is made we will take them back into public control.  Introduce integrated ticketing, tap-and-go and fare caps across the region.  Support active travel to get more people walking and cycling.  Roll out more charging points to encourage better EV car use. Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, Labour Co-Op - @AndyBurnhamGM

I have been keeping this idea a secret for the past couple of years, before the Superloop brand was launched.

My suggestion is to create London Busways, a BRT service for London, with their own branding.

The roundel is based on the 1987–1994 London Buses Ltd.

Along with other London Bus brands, such as the Superloop. I suggested the use of tram-style articulated buses to improve accessibility and capacity. I also suggested the same for Greater Manchester's Bee Network.

@WeMove_Tech During the years between 1985 to early 2000s, many of London's buses appeared in different colours because the Government's policy is to have private firms operating bus services in London to reduce costs.

@WeMove_Tech In 1994, when the original LT owned London Buses got sold to private firms, the government required new owners to retain the overall red livery for routes serving Central London.
