London’s 7.1mph average bus speed is 'no faster than average jogging pace'

London buses travel at an average of just 7.1mph — no faster than an average person jogging, new data reveals.

Figures published by industry body the Confederation of Passenger Transport (CPT), and shared exclusively with The Standard, suggest bus speeds in the capital are falling behind, running 44% slower than other English metropolitan areas and 24% slower than other urban areas.
