Motorcycles in your bus lane

One study showed a safety benefit, another showed a safety reduction. Therefore more studying is needed. Simple.

Just because one set of numbers is more palatable to the LCC doesn't make it more accurate.

As the increase in cyclist collisions has been demonstrated to have absolutely nothing to do with motorcycles being allowed in bus lanes the LCC should have no problem with letting the trials continue.
The only study which showed a safety benefit was never released by TfL because their statisitcal experts refused to sign it off. It was based on incompetent traffic flow data, that is why the Mayor set up a new trial which actually measured the site by site casualties and traffic flow. This new study showed that casualties went up where motorcycles were allowed in bus lanes and went down where they were not.

The increase in collisions for motorcyclists has been shown to be caused by vehicles turning in to the bus lane without checking it is clear. For this you blame the motorcycles and demand they should be banned from bus lanes.

The increase in collisions for cyclists has been shown to be caused by vehicles turning in to the bus lane without checking it is clear. And yet you don't blame the cyclists and demand they should be banned do you? Instead you somehow continue to blame the motorcycles and demand they should be banned from bus lanes. Not only does your conclusion not follow from the evidence, it is hypocritical.

I am not blaming motorcyclists for the crashes, it is mainly that they are going faster than before and in the left side slower lane. They have much less time to see and avoid the cars cutting them up and when a crash happens the impact is harder and the casualties more serious.
I don't blame the cyclists either. In the detailed study their crashes with cars went up but the biggest increase was in the 'other' (unknown fault) category. In the network wide study all cyclist casualties went down, they went down faster on the roads were there were not motorcycles in bus lanes.
As we are not blaming motorcyclists or cyclists I don't agree that we are being hypocritical.
Our fear has always been that mixing fast moving motorcycles with slower traffic increases the risk for all. The study showed more motorcycles going at significantly higher speeds. The increase in casualties is no surprise.
