The National Transport Authority is expressing confidence proposed changes to a bus route in West Clare will significantly reduce journey times. Public consultation has opened on planned bus enhancements in the west of the county, among them being a pledge to increase the frequency of Route 350 to every 90 to 120 minutes. It's proposed that the bus will be re-aligned to operate between Lisdoonvarna and Ballyvaughan along the N67, while to complement these changes, Route 350C will operate along the R477 via Fanore and onto Kinvara, serving Ballyvaughan, New Quay and Nogra. Senior Transport Planner with the National Transport Authority Conor O'Donovan has been telling Clare FM's Seán Lyons the typical time a passenger spends on the 350 bus could be cut by 15 minutes.
After nearly a decade of planning, IndyGo launched its second bus rapid transit line, the Purple Line. Four candidates are vying for three at-large seats on the Wayne Township School Board.

Students Siofra McGuire and Aoibhín Twomey from North Clare both go to college in Galway and rely heavily on Bus Éireann's Ennis-Galway service. Siofra lives at home and uses the bus to commute to college, while Aoibhín lives in Galway, but needs the bus to return home. They have encountered issues with the 350 service and wanted to highlight their frustration at the ongoing situation. On Thursday's Morning Focus, Alan Morrissey spoke with Siofra and Aoibhín who highlighted some of the issues with the 350 local public transport route.
A major bus route running from Galway to Ennis has been deemed a "source of anxiety" for those who have to use it regularly. The 350 bus service, which runs six times daily and connects Galway, Kinvara, Doolin, the Cliffs of Moher and Ennis, has been frequently criticised for poor punctuality and insufficient capacity among other issues. Two students, Aoibhín Twomey and Síofra McGuire, have launched a petition which has garnered over 1000 signatures calling from frequency and capacity on the 350 to be boosted. Aoibhín, who lives and studies in Galway but relies on the bus to return home to Kinvara, believes the Government and National Transport Authority should shift their focus from tourists to local people who need dependable transport.

An overly ambitious redesign of bus routes for Louisville's school district turned into a logistical meltdown on the first day of classes, forcing schools to close. Administrators said that students may have to stay home until the mess is untangled. Parents were fuming and state politicians demanded answers after some of the district's 96,000 students didn't get picked up for school in the morning or got home hours late, with some arriving after dark. Beau Kilpatrick has five kids attending schools in the district but said the only major transportation problems were with his elementary-school-aged children, two girls in the first and third grades. The morning bus was supposed to arrive at 8:38 a.m. but never came, he said. After half an hour of waiting, he drove them to the school a few miles away. In the afternoon, the bus was almost two hours late for pickup. Kilpatrick said the children had to sit in a school hallway while waiting for the bus to arrive because the cafeteria was already full. Then the children weren't dropped off until three hours later, at 9:15 p.m. Berkley Collins, a mother of two students in the district, said her younger daughter was never assigned an afternoon bus and was left at her elementary school for hours. Collins said the district had plenty of time to implement its new bus plan, but failed. It took just one disastrous day for Jefferson County Public Schools, a sprawling urban district and the largest in Kentucky, to reexamine the new bus routing system. The plan was designed by AlphaRoute, a Massachusetts-based consulting company that uses computer algorithms to map out courses and stops. It could take a couple of days to resolve the problems enough to resume classes, Superintendent Marty Pollio said, promising to give parents plenty of notice before the start of the week. The district has 65,000 bus riders, according to its website. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

A Clare Fine Gael Councillor is hopeful of securing a significant expansion of the proposed Ennis town bus route. The service is set to become operational in the next 18 months with the aim of enhancing public connectivity to focal points in the town. Nearby Barefield, currently has just one weekly TFI Local Link route offering transport to Ennis, triggering calls from residents to see the town service extended to the Mid-Clare Village. The National Transport Authority has since committed to carrying out a feasibility study of the ammeneded schedule. Former Mayor of Ennis, Mary Howard who proposed the motion at yesterdays Municipal District meeting believes the extension would be transformational for the town.

Earlier this week on Perth Live caller Jacqui raised her parental concerns as the 299 twice-a-day bus route that takes students to schools in Kalamunda was cut due to the new airport train line. Rita Saffioti, WA Transport Minister told Oliver Peterson that the delivery of the a train line is aimed at reducing the amount of bus' that run parallel to it. "There has been some consolidation of the bus route along Great Eastern Highway - work was undertaken to devise new routes to work with the train line," she told Oly on Perth Live. "For many students and people there is more direct access to their schools but there are some where that access has changed and there's been a need to swap between bus and train now. "We have had feedback so we are working with the agency to see if there is other tweaks we can make to the service and will be reviewing the situation over the next couple weeks." Rita Saffioti also responded to a second issue that was raised on Perth Live this week. Caller Jessica alerted Oly that there is a known issue between the Department of Transport database and Police database which has seen some cars appearing unregistered and therefore police will seize plates. "We've tried to interrogate this example - we understand there is a delay with BPAY between 2 and 5 days between payments - however there is a few things out of our control with how BPAY conducts themselves but I will talk to the Minister of Police if there is any sort of ability of proof of payment can be considered." "I've always had a personal passion about the rego stickers but every time I raised it to others, they said don't be silly Rita."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
David Hynes, a spokesman for Transperth responded to this story on Perth Live. "Some of the things are quite true, the route 229 has been removed as part of the airport line - because the best way to move a large amount of people quickly and efficiently is by rail. "However it has been replaced by a number of services, the Airport Line itself obviously but also route 940 between Perth and Redcliffe Station, also route 290 and 291 between Redcliffe Station and Midland Station via Guildford and route 275 between Wycombe Station and Walton Bay via Kalamunda Road. "So when you link those up, it will get you back up into the same area."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Jacqui Gilmour shared her parental concerns on Perth Live as she explained told Oliver Peterson a twice-a-day bus route that takes students to schools in Kalamunda has been cut due to the new airport train line. Students have been directed to take the train first and then a bus, creating big delays for some students. "It is a bit disappointing as the service has been running for 50 years and suddenly it's gone," she told Oly. The 229 bus route which runs from Elizabeth Quay up Great Eastern Hwy, is just one of the busses that have been terminated, leaving students from Kalamunda High School, St Brigids College and Mazenod College having to find a new way to school. "Plenty of students hop on the bus on the way up the hill on Kalamunda Road, the kids stand like sardines on the last little segment towards Kalamunda Station. "It's about a 50 minute journey from getting the bus to getting to school and they're now suggesting we add another 30 minutes to that."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Electric Buses are set to start running in the United Kingdom from the End of January 2014. The modern vehicles will be used on the number 7 route which runs between the Milton Keynes suburbs of Wolverton and Bletchley. The number 7 bus reportedly carries over 800,000 passengers per year. The system works via the use of charging plates buried in the ground. The buses will receive full charges over night at the depot and top up charges at the end of their route throughout the day. Once the bus has been parked over these electric devices, the bus driver lowers receiver plates from the bottom of the vehicle and they are charged for a period of ten minutes between routes. The ten minute charges will be able to replenish about two thirds of the energy used on the bus route. The test will require the bus to complete a 20 hour shift without the need of a heavy and expensive traditional battery. Another major challenge of this test will be the route itself; the tough urban terrain will fully test the durability of the bus. The buses have been built by UK manufacturer Whitebus. The five year trial of this project will be led by the European Division of Japanese Company Mitsui and the UK engineering group Aroup. If the project is successful they will begin rolling it out throughout other areas of the United Kingdom. The system was initiated by Cambridge University professor John Miles. Professor Miles is also Aroup's lead on the project. He claimed that whilst electric vehicles are about twice as expensive to manufacture as diesel vehicles, they are a lot cheaper to run. He has estimated that the scheme will be able to make savings of around ?12-000 to ?15-000 a year. Moushumi Mohanty is based in India and manages the global Hybrid-EV website and publication for HIS automobile industry consulting. She offered some further insight concerning this project. "In terms of benefits I can think of two or three, you know how the inductive charge works right? From one magnetic field to another magnetic field, electrons transfer. The charge can actually happen very seamlessly. One of the big issues of EV adoption was basically its cost which came from the battery. If you are charging this constantly on the go, this is a hyperthetical situation, your battery is constantly getting topped up so you don't need a large battery. Another associated advantage would be if you have a battery that is constantly getting charged, events of deep discharge are much lower and the life cycle of there battery will be very good, in fact it will be optimum." Moushumi also went on to discuss the disadvantages of the system; these included heavy start up costs, installation fees, manufacturing and material costs. There would also be a certain degree of difficulty on actually charging the plates, if they are not aligned perfectly the vehicle will not receive an optimum charge. Recent tests that have shown an approximate 10% of charges are being wasted and the costs will have to be paid for by the consumer. Technology of this nature will also take time to develop. Moushumi believes it may take another decade for the technology to be at the point where it can be used efficiently. The United Kingdom is not the first country to initiate this high tech system of public transportation. Electronic buses have already been rolled out in Italy, the Netherlands, Germany and South Korea. During 2013 South Korea began utilizing a system where electric recharge coils were planted into a road in Gumi. This allows the vehicle to charge whilst still in motion. The environmental friendly Electric vehicle may also prove to be very effective in the busy metropolitan cities in China. Beijing was reportedly has to highest amount of cars in China boasting an incredible 5,200,000 vehicles. The incorporation of this new system would offer many needed eco friendly benefits including fewer carbon admissions and a reduction in use of fossil fuels. Namrita Chow is the Manager and senior analyst of HIS automobile industry consulting; she offers her insight towards the possibilities of running such a system in China. "The system that was introduced recently in Milton Keynes is a trial run for inserting induction plates in to the road to charge vehicles as they drive over them. However this takes significant investment. In China it is unlikely this investment will be introduced because of the cost involved in fitting these plates in to the road and also it would mean there would be limited routes. At the moment the country seems to be investing in easy charging infrastructure where electric cars and buses can be charged at these charge points. The countries regional and central government are investing in significantly in infrastructure for this. The electric plates are another way so it would mean a number of automaters working together to have their batteries fitted in the same area so they can receive the induction from the plates so it is a completely different method of charging the electric vehicle." Further development of this project will be decided in 2017. At this point there will be enough data recorded to accurately decide whether the project should be continued. If successful, results published at this time it will go alone way to opening the system up to other countries around the globe.
