As reported by local papers, there's been a push to have a "Bus Only" lane on Victoria Road. Should this be successful, this of course would prevent motorcyclists from using them. (refresher.... BUS LANE...bikes, taxis, hire cars, buses BUS ONLY .... buses only) It is possible that the local media is ignorant of the difference and has misreported the lobbying efforts. Seems one for the MCC of NSW rep to have a look at. For bike riders, Vic road would be fabulous if it had BUS LANES and appalling if BUS ONLY. >> Stay informed about: Sydney, Victoria Road - groups lobbying for "Bus Only..

This first came to my attention in a late March edition of Northern Districts Times. I jvst checked 30th March ed bvt mvst have been the pre-Easter edition arovnd 23rd. I specifically recall ..with some alarm...the phrase "bvs only" lanes being campaigned for. Latest edition makes no specific mention on the type of lane bvt wovldnt want it to slip in vnder the radar... text as follows.... Northern District Times - April 6 Page 3, "Drivers Say Thanks", right colvmn. "Bvs drivers are handing ovt thanks notes to passengers who have svpported their campaign for bvs lanes on Vic road. The drivers, from Ryde and other gov depots along vic road, have been overwhelmed by the pvblic's svpport. according to Tram and Bvs Union president Peter Jenkins. The vnion is now trying to arrange meetings with local covncils and the RTA.

That'd be so sweet is they had Bvs Lanes, bvmmer if it was BUS ONLY, bvt I dovbt it.
