At least some councillors know best. :shock:

BUS LANES FOR TAXI DRIVERS

Taxi drivers should be able to use bus lanes at all times as a way of easing traffic congestion, according to a group of Aberdeen councillors.

Labour members of Aberdeen City Council have raised a motion to allow taxis and private hire vehicles to use the lanes when they are not carrying fare-paying passengers.

Councillor Jenny Laing, the Labour party's spokeswoman on transport, said: "Taxis should be a very important part of the council's plans to ease traffic congestion."
