Rail replacement bus service

[2] Substitution of rail services by buses can be unpopular and subject to criticism and so the term bustitution is often used pejoratively.

[10] NSW TrainLink, Transwa and V/Line all introduced extensive networks in New South Wales, Western Australia and Victoria in the 1970s and the 1980s that replaced regional trains.

[11] Substitute bus transport (Czech: náhradní autobusová doprava) is governed by the Road Traffic Act (111/1994 Coll.

However, the bus takes considerably longer than the train journey and fails to serve Waterford railway station.

[citation needed] An incident occurred in Singapore on 7 July 2015 after a mass shutdown on the North–South and East–West lines after a power system failure.

The operator SMRT and rival SBS Transit did not activate bus bridging but made all buses free islandwide because of the sheer scale of the disruptions.

[15][16] The Land Transport Authority made travel free available for any bus services passing MRT stations that were affected during the train disruptions, and during a massive disruption affecting at least two lines, bus travel islandwide was made free.

Rail-replacement bus services occurred on a large scale after the dismantling of the street railway systems of many cities in North America in the mid-20th century.

[31][32] Replacement of existing rail services with buses after World War II is one of the largest reasons that so few US cities have rapid transit systems.
