Prioritising cyclists speed & convenience over pedestrians and bus users safety has resulted in everyday people distancing themselves from the cycle lobby and turning away from cycling. #DeclineInCycling#FloatingBusStops#LTNs
Please watch this 2 minute clip and tell me this is seriously ok ..
The the cyclists hit a child, cyclists cycling agressivly into vulnerable people…. Let’s stop floating bus stops now….
Useful meeting at the @HouseofCommons talking about the safety risks of #floatingbusstops especially for blind people Good support form many MP’s to change the legal framework for bus stop design
Although #FloatingBusStops don’t create conflict, pedestrians are being killed and seriously injured by vehicles at and near bus stops, not by cyclists.
We went to see the floating bus stop on Tooley Street that TfL are using to demonstrate how they should work. The reality was very different from the demo. Please stop routing cycle lanes through pavements at bus stops. #BusStopBypasses#FloatingBusStops#TfL#TooleyStreet
It's unacceptable that blind people in the UK are unable to use public transport independently due to routing cycle lanes through an on pavements at bus stops.

@Keir_Starmer blind peoples access needs at bus stops in cycle lane schemes has been systematically ignored over the past 10 years, leading to blind people being locked out of using their bus services. Will you change this & put an end to this discrimination please?
It's unacceptable that blind people in London are unable to use public transport independently due to routing cycle lanes on and through pavements at bus stops.

‘The tragedy is that visually impaired people are ending up at the bottom of the pile & are designed out of the environment’ Andrews words about a pavement-less bus stop on the new Lea Bridge Road cycle lane in London. @LouHaigh@simonlightwood we need urgent help on this issue.
WARNING: We filmed at the Elephant & Castle Floating bus stop late last month. The clip includes a rental e-bike rider crashing into a child. The floating bus stop designs are not safe & they need to be urgently halted please.
It's been a busy week at The Coalition, with a trip to Number 10 Downing Street and the House of Commons with the National Federation of the Blind UK for the floating bus stops campaign. Telling the government about how dangerous floating bus stops are.

Excellent meeting tonight organised by @NFBUK@HouseofCommons about the dangers of floating bus stops and shared spaces layout for visually impaired people. Powerful film shown and good address by @SteveDarlingMP who came with his guide dog Jennie @rthonjennie #transport#floatingbusstops
As part of our floating bus stops campaigning we have created a template letter that you can send to your MP telling them your reasons why floating bus stops are unsafe. Visit the following link for the campaign template letter: surreycoalition.org.uk/float…#FloatingBusStops@NFBUK

@NFBUK featured on BBC Breakfast this morning talking about the safety problems of floating bus stops. The repeat of the show is available via the following link with the floating bus stops coverage starting at 17.25: bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0…#FloatingBusStops
Just watched the @NFBUK item on @BBCBreakfast on #FloatingBusStops. So glad the media is continuing to cover the access & safety issues of this infrastructure. Can't believe in reply to the item someone contacted the program saying "look both ways before crossing"! Er?
