To me, bus lanes are a complete waste of time. They achieve nothing apart from chaos on the roads. I've seen many situations where traffic is held up whilst everyone tries to move over into one lane instead of two, and buses are held up behind them, so it makes them late! Rather defeats the 'object' to me.

I agree with you some bus lanes are waste of space, like the one on the main road between Morecambe and Lancaster, outside the college, I never seen a bus use it yet!

Then there other areas where there is no bus lanes, which could do with one! such as the hill between Walton-le-Dale and Preston, theres nearly as many buses as cars going up this hill

The bus lane outside the college is used by the service 12 (Morecambe-heysham- the bypass-lancaster bus station-railway station) and the preston services on sundays.l
