Year-Round Time Savings for Motorcyclists
Motorcycle bus lane access delivers massive time savings, making every commute quicker and more reliable. In London, motorcyclists save an estimated 1.2 million hours annually, with an average of 6 minutes and 20 seconds cut per trip. Edinburgh’s full access saves 126,000 hours yearly, Belfast riders gain 79,000 hours, and Cardiff’s partial access yields 48,400 hours, with potential for 96,800 hours if universal. These figures, from TfL’s 2011 study and recent analyses, show how bus lanes help riders dodge traffic jams, arriving at work on time every day.
For motorcyclists, this means more time for family, hobbies, or the open road. Whether you’re a daily rider or joining Ride To Work Day, motorcycle bus lane access makes two wheels a smart, time-saving choice year-round. Signing the petition is a powerful way to support this cause—do it this Ride To Work Day to amplify the impact!
Benefits for All: Why Non-Riders Should Care
Motorcycle bus lane access isn’t just for riders—it’s a win for everyone. Here’s why non-riders should sign:
- Less Congestion: Motorcycles in bus lanes free up general traffic, cutting journey times for drivers and boosting bus reliability. London trials showed a 5.2% drop in motorcycle collisions, meaning safer roads for all.
- Cleaner Air: Faster motorcycle trips and fewer idling cars reduce emissions. TfL’s study found motorcycles in bus lanes cut CO2 by 0.4% to 9.0%, improving air quality for cyclists and pedestrians.
- Safer Streets: Bus lane access reduces risky filtering, lowering accidents and benefiting drivers and pedestrians.
- Economic Gains: Quicker commutes enhance productivity, as seen in cities like Edinburgh and Belfast with full access.
Whether you drive, cycle, or walk, motorcycle bus lane access creates better cities year-round. This Ride To Work Day, sign the petition, share it on social media, and urge friends and family to join—every signature counts!
Why Default Access Matters Now
Only 55 local authorities allow motorcycle bus lane access across 281 miles of the UK’s 584-mile bus lane network, per MAG’s 2022 Stocktake. This patchwork system confuses riders and limits benefits. MAG’s petition demands a national default policy allowing motorcycles in bus lanes year-round unless authorities opt out, ensuring consistency and maximizing savings.
The public backs this change. A 2024 DfT consultation saw 14,600 responses, with only 178 against default access. Yet, the government claims insufficient safety evidence, despite decades of success. As of May 30, 2025, the petition has 20,739 signatures but needs 100,000 by August 28, 2025, for a parliamentary debate. This Ride To Work Day, signing is a top way to support MAG’s mission—spread the word to make it happen!
