Banning cars from city centres, isn't going to do anything other than encourage car users to go elsewhere.
Were those minibuses taking the residents of the estates to places the residents needed to go? Or where the operators thought they wanted to be.
Having a minibus go from an estate to Whitley Bay, when residents are travelling to drop the kids off and then heading in the opposite direction, to get to work - was never the brightest idea.
