Unlike car journeys, where some route variation has occurred because of traffic management, bus journeys have been affected by changes of routes by buses as well. There is a missing walk journey time in 1988, so that the means are noutrictly comparable. 1 Travel time versus direct distance for buses (1983) 6 Journey Speeds: Potential Journeys 45 so often for passengers. In addition, the walking and waiting adds a further time penalty, so that buses overall, in central London, only give direct journey speeds of some four miles/h, well under half the kerb-to-kerb direct journey speeds of cars.
This, as can be seen by comparison with the previous figure, is roughly the central portion of the route of the Post Office Railway. When traffic speeds were measured for the Royal Commission for London Traffic in 1904, in Vol. 27 miles/h in the reverse direction with the same conditions.
