I appreciate I'm probably in the minority here, but cameras to keep people out of bus lanes are good in my eyes. And yes, I'm a motorist. At times, the bus lane heading down from Gateshead Interchange to the lights is beyond a joke with motorists taking the mick. And they still get held up the next set of lights about 3 bus lengths away!

I agree. You would think operators would be the ones who spent money on improving the passenger experience.
However it seems taxpayers are paying for that and smartcard technology on vehicles, whilst supporting price offers too.

Worth noting this fund is a partnership between the DfT, LAs, operators and Nexus, with each party contributing to the pot. Although the release does does rather try to give the impression it's all being paid for/delivered by Nexus...

It states that the majority of funding was obtained from the DFT. Only a tiny portion was contributed locally...
