Bus Lanes

<< < (2/3) > >>

eugene:
in london it black cads buses  and certian times of the day anyone can use them  but im always getting £120 fine for being in them even if its a inch of the tyre it a rip off i think

Bush Tucker Man:
Isn't the usual definition of a bus as;  Public Service/Staged Carriage???


Therefore 'Private Hire' is just that, hired privately (& not for the general public)

mike142sl:
Local Councils decide who can use them and when - so it can be different in each town or city.

Here in Shefield we can use them on motorbikes - not all are signed as such but we have checked with the council and local police and confirmed that we are safe to do so without being stopped and fined.

Drift:
As Mike said its up to the local authority who can use the lanes.

It is quite funny watching a bus try and overtake a push bike in a bus lane when the traffic is stacked up to the right... you can see the frustration in the bus drivers face  :evil: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Disco Matt:
The ones down in Bristol disturb me, particularly on the Downs. They really don't look wide enough for a bus, especially at the speeds these things usually hit. It's a case of "two lanes if both vehicles are old-shape Minis"...
