The aim would be to cut traffic and the effect on the environment, while making sure that people are just as likely or more likely to use them. Buses would use a circuit of streets on the edge of the city core and serve groups of bus stops at places (either on or off-street) that are close for people to walk into the city core. It will take a lot of effort to make the bus stops and waiting areas as nice as possible, while we would need better pedestrian connections and signposting/maps to make up for the buses not stopping right in the city core, which would be better for pedestrians and improve the whole outside area.
