Closure of bus lanes in Liverpool

[First Class]

RE: Closure of bus lanes in Liverpool.
Absolutely crazy idea.

They spend thousands, maybe millions on road layouts, then install expensive CCTV for enforcement purposes, drivers on the whole start getting used to the idea and comply, only for some muppet to come in and destroy that??!

OK, so bus use is declining by a single figure percentage each year in Merseyside, but surely that should be an INCENTIVE to expand (and retain) the bus lane network to make the services more attractive??
