"Taxis" using bus lanes

Recommended Posts

Too scared of getting fined to use a bus lane when it's not in operation?

I don't think the SCC capitulates quite that easy to the taxi drivers demands, the meeting I was in attendance along with a few colleagues was well considered and there were two sides of the argument well presented. It wasn't the case of taxi drivers and the Council but Private Hire for and the Hackney carriage Association against the use of bus lanes by Ph and complicated by the bus contingent against both of them. It was a well considered and in hindsight the right decision, despite myself being against it at the time.

 

It​ was just that at the time I used to see a lot of private hire vehicles using the bus lanes, and they must have been getting away with it because they just carried on doing it untill it was made law.

Yes, If its an unfamiliar area and I'm unsure what the times of operation are, I'd rather err on the side of caution :)
