“Of course, cars and buses are better because they can steer around problems, just like the cars and buses are steering around the chaos caused by the Milton Street roadworks at the moment. The only problem is, when you steer around the closed roads you hit the rest of the traffic that's done the same, only to meet the traffic that was there anyway.
Delays of over an hour reported on Monday from alternative public transport that can apparently "steer around" any problems.”
