Who on earth has the brass neck to apply for it and which absolute buffoon is approving the applications?

Must say it would be nice for it to actually be spent on something long term that might actually attract some customers rather sticking plasters over unsustainable routes.

I'm not a fan of useless bus lanes, but some bus priority might actually reduce the PVR of some of these routes so they could actually do more using the same resources but maybe I'm just looking at things backwards...

On these routes, just bring back the 43/44/X70/X71/X30/X31(All Expresses by Gateshead) and just be done with it, the vast majority of punters now have a service every 30 minutes to the main destinations rather than hourly, 20 minutes, 20/40, 2 buses an hour at random times like the crap here with some local service doing Lobley Hill and the 2 bus stops in Dunston which are causing all this bother.
