The whiners, unfortunately are the car-driving majority, who have grown used to having their every whim catered to in a transportation system that is overwhemingly tilted towards their needs and away from the needs of everyone else in the community.

Essentially, the goal of having safe and comfortable places to shop, live and do business comes secondary to their ability to speed through on their way to somewhere else.

78% of respondents to the Spec's poll are in favour of doing away with the bus lane. Regardless of your views on the validity of on-line polling methods, that's a pretty staggering response.

And with that response in mind, you can bet that if they don't kill it now, it's just a matter of a short month when the report comes in. It's going to be very hard for staff to spin the positives of the dedicated bus lane sufficiently to offset people's perceptions of the negatives.
