QUOTE:
"Crucially it has shown that the benefits are felt across society, with the largest effect on physical activity seen in commuters who were least active before the busway opened."
Transport chiefs claim they are now holding back the tide of cars in Cambridge - but campaigners say the schemes are "anti-motorist", despite an overall increase in traffic while city.
The volume of traffic coming into the city is 15 per cent less than a decade ago and there has been a massive 88 per cent increase in cyclists."

Medicine, show that people living closer to the busway were more likely to
increase the time they spent cycling on the commute than those living further
away. <not from the link>
