They have already been suspended since last year, but most drivers don't notice the signs advising them that the bus lanes are no longer in use.

Personally I agree with this. The only one which is of any use is Queensway eastbound. There is never any traffic westbound or on Bromsgrove Road.

When I read that article I was wholeheartedly shocked at the lack of consideration given by the councillors who rubber stamped this. It means even less opportunity for consideration of enforcement of bus lanes in the borough in the future and thus a higher likelihood of delays to bus services!

I love it when you see other drivers faces when you drive down those bus lanes. Serves them right, they should be more observant.
