Disability experts demanded a halt on new floating bus stops after it emerged cyclists refuse to stop at zebra crossings, endangering pedestrians - but the advice has been ignored, a charity has claimed.The Government's disabled persons transport advisory committee (DPTAC) said the concerns expressed by vulnerable pedestrians had been 'underplayed' in research carried out on the stops, which involve people crossing a cycle lane to board a bus.The group also suggested Labour had been pandering to the cycling lobby - and called for cyclists to be alerted to a need for them to 'change their behaviour' when approaching zebra crossings. Floating bus stops were designed to prevent bikes from overtaking buses but they have become the source of controversy after research showed a majority of cyclists do not give way to pedestrians. Videos shared on social media show a number of people, including pensioners and children, being mown down by bikes at zebra crossings which lead to and from the stops.The DPTAC's report from 2025, which was marked as 'official - sensitive', was the group's response to draft government guidance on floating bus stops. However, it was uncovered last month through a Freedom of Information request - and has been seen by the Daily Mail.
