| 摘要： | Some car drivers fizz with indignation when detection cameras trigger fixed penalty fines for straying into a bus lane, regarding that as a money-making racket on the part of the "offending" local authority rather than just desserts for being caught on a piece of highway reserved for public transport users. But what if the same technology tries to fine something that should be there, like a bus? Craig Temple, one of our Inside Track columnists and proprietor of Connexions Buses otherwise known as Harrogate Coach Travel, has taken to social media to share this bizarre penalty notice that Leeds City Council issued in October. For the avoidance of all doubt, the alleged offender, registration CN57 BHZ, is a bus, which when we last checked was what is supposed to use a bus lane. The clue, surely, is in the words. Most of you would also recognise it as a Scania OmniCity and maybe also one that started out, in October 2007, as Cardiff Bus 725. A bus that Malcolm King - who definitely isn't an automated bus lane camera - happened to photograph about ten days earlier on Leeds city service 11 from Crossgates, a route taken over from First. As you'll see, it retained its former owner's livery at the time. I trust that, by now, Craig has persuaded the council that this is a case of gravely mistaken identity and that his buses, like others on registered services, are legitimate users of bus priority measures. |
