By Investor-In-Taxi-Industry (anonymous) | Posted May 17, 2013 at 20:55:09
"The sub-motion to establish the bus-only lane was defeated, with only McHattie and Merulla voting in favour, and Collins, Duvall and Ferguson voting against.":
Did Clr. Ferguson declare a conflict of interest? Is he even allowed to vote on this issue, where the taxi industry stands to gain by not having a dedicated bus lane?
Could not the bus lanes be marked on road, but be in operation only for an hour or two in am/pm during rush hour traffic???
