Rejected petition Get rid of bus lanes in west Belfast

With the recent implementation of bus lanes the rush hour traffic in Belfast has changed to the rush 3 hours of traffic. These bus lanes do not encourage drivers to use public transport but only frustrate the majority of the public.

More details

In turn this is increasing the risk of speeding for when the traffic loosens cars often speed out of frustration. We pay our road tax and deserve to use all of the road.
