Which express bus route performs the best to carry large amount of commuters into and out of a city in the UK? The criteria include:
* A significant portion of the route travels on 40+mph grade-separated dual carriageways without stopping, preferably on motorways.
* The loading on weekday peak hours should be high, with standing passengers on most of the departures on the express section in commuting direction.
* The frequency should be high, preferably with headway under 10 minutes in peak hours.
In Hong Kong, there are many routes fitting these criteria that every bus is crush-loaded on the motorway on a headway with 5 minutes or less in peak hours, because such routes run directly between a major residential area and the central business district (CBD) where there are no direct railway links. Where in the UK can we find the most such routes?
