Theres something on the theme today in Manchester

Essentially the MP suggests bus lanes should be abolished and the city traffic would move better - ha!

How on Earth they can suggest a bus carrying up to 90 passengers should have less priority than a line of cars consisting of maybe 15 people is ludicrous. Selfishness in the highest order, and I'm a motorist!

City centre congestion should be alleviated with a well managed park and ride and incentives for car-sharing

It's the same logic as people going on about how polluting buses are. Yes, there's a single vehicle carrying, potentially, several dozen people. Definitely no more polluting, per head, than a single person in their 5l Chelsea tractor. And even 30 people on a bus creates much less congestion (and pollution) than 15 people in, say 15 cars, of any size.
