Bikes in Bus Lanes. We need your help
 
You could be next!
Quote:
Transport for London report little feedback (i.e. apathy) from motorcyclists in respect of the trial of motorbikes sharing bus lanes in London. In contrast, cyclists continue to lobby to have bikers banned again, despite little or no evidence of biker + cycle accidents since the trial began.

If we value the right to use bus lanes, and reduce our filtering risk, then participating in the survey may be to our advantage, especially as the London outcome is likely to guide what other UK cities do. This is the link to the very short TFL poll / survey; https://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/roadusers...s/default.aspx
Thanks for your support :)

Duly completed. Folks, this isn't the same as the Downing Street online petitions, this is worth filling out. You can guarantee the cyclists will be all over this asking for us not to be allowed in the bus lanes. They blame us for the accidents in bus lanes involving cyclists/motorcyclist that they usually cause.

At the very end of the survey, and its a very short survey too, they have sections asking your:

age group
sex
location.

Under location they have london boroughs or "i'm not in london" and i dont think they have any reason to rule out your comments cos your not "in" London, after all loads of people commute into london on a daily babsis and their input is just as valid i'm sure.

Told 'em I live in Westminster, think it'd be too much effort for them to check where works proxy server claims to be located.

You might well live in Westminster and work outside of London. ;)

Personally I was honest about living outside London and requested that they make the lanes consistent. As an outsider, I can't learn which lanes I'm allowed in/not allowed in and checking every sign I pass is taking up concentration that could be spent on dodging cabs and cyclists.
