Abstract
Bus Route 32, which runs between Kilburn Park Station and Edgware Station, was designated as London, England's first bus Super Route. In a 6-month experiment, intensive enforcement of bus-lane and parking restrictions will keep lanes free of congestion. Automatic vehicle location, allowing operators at bus garages to track the whereabouts of all their services, is being introduced; and countdown information displays, showing the arrival time of the next bus, are being installed at stops along the route. Buses will also be given priority at traffic lights.
