“This subject makes I laugh, I would say 80% of motorists in Bristol don't even understand bus lanes and their use.
A classic example of this is on the A37 inbound at the location of the old Gaiety cinema,,,this is a BUS LANE from 7-10am at ALL other times it is an ordinary lane to be used by EVERYONE.
Just observe the idiots that straddle the lanes think should I go into that lane or not, and if you should have the cheek to use the lane correctly be prepared for plenty of flack.
Vocational drivers are just as bad and should know better.”

“The drivers of the UWE buses are even worse..

they still don't seem to do anything about people parking along stokes croft on double yellows which blocks the road and cycle path...but as its not a bus lane they don't care...nor do they stop the shop keeepers of glos road unloading on double yellows or at junctions by the arches..”

“I think the one thing that might unite the car drivers and cyclists of Bristol is a mutual hatred of the insanely aggressive and rude bus drivers First tend enjoy employing.”

“Sam
I would really write and have a go at first bus, take your wing mirror and sort it out . As some bus drivers do think they rule the roost, as far as roads are concerned.”

“A good way to treble the size of a copy of the Evening Post is to print pictures each night of every offender who breaks these ridiculously obvious rules and Photoshop donkey's ears onto them so we can all have a good laugh at them, knowing that a hearty fine will be landing on their doorstep soon.

I mean, just how stupid do you have to be to block a bus lane? These people must have to be told when to breathe!

How people dare try and defend themselves in this situation I have no idea, except to try and blame other people for their own stupidity and selfishness.

They're the same idiots who don't realise that 95 is a bigger number than 70 and instead of blaming themselves they have a go at speed cameras or even the police. Frightening.”

“"agreed last night to use its network of more than 100 closed circuit television cameras to identify culprits."

What were the cameras being used for before last night?
How much did it cost to install the network?
How much does it cost to monitor the network?

Why can't they be used to prosecute drivers who park on pavements?
Or more pertinently why are these cameras not already being used for such?”

“I would Just like to thank the bus driver that went out of his way to ram me on glos road last week, Snapping my wing mirror off and then blocking the road with the bus while he got out and had a go at me. Even the lady in the car behind me got out her car and had a go at the bus driver as it was not my fault to help back me up...this happened rush hour and he would not move the bus to let the other cars go past, he was just stood in the road screaming at me.

Thanks again first bus!! bush of losers!!”

“now that the council have made it quite clear that this is not a money making scheme may be they can explain the reason they have put a 24 hour bus lane that no buses use at the end of the M32, i may be wrong, but how many bus routes operate along there.”

“Why not fine all those bus drivers who leave the back end of the bus in the road stopping traffic behind them getting past due to oncoming traffic. i can understand this if the bus stop was blocked or impeded, but this is not always the case”

“Well Well Well how about using our council tax on better things Eh!!!!!!!!!!”
