20mph in Wales.

Speed limits of 20mph could be introduced in all residential areas in Wales

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-politics-48188233

Some areas on the bus route I use often was dropped from 30mph to 20mph. The response from the bus company was to cut buses on that route (and others) from 3 an hour to 2 an hour. They had been at 4 an hour this time last year.

With almost the whole route reducing to 20mph, I wouldn't be surprised if the buses were cut to 1 an hour.

Peak times already see packed buses and people being left behind due to no room available.

And soon the shiny new BBC HQ opens in the city centre. Built upon the old bus station site, and still no new bus station being constructed after many years waiting. And then the new Tax Office building will open almost next door. That's a large number of commuters who are going to get very upset with the city's bonkers transport policies.

Another case of not thinking about the consequences, but just agreeing to green lobbyists' demands.
