A 600-FOOT stretch of bus lane in Manchester city centre has raked in almost £1.5m in fines in five years, the M.E.N. can reveal.
The stretch of bus lane runs from outside Victoria Station down Hunts Bank, near the Manchester Arena. Figures obtained by the M.E.N. show thousands of drivers are being snared in it each year, earning Manchester council hundreds of thousands of pounds in revenue.
Town hall bosses say bus lane fines are a 'proven and effective' way of reducing traffic and ensuring public transport 'has a clear route' through the city centre. The signage is clear and gives drivers 'more than enough time' to find an alternative route, they say.
