I would agree with Sussex's opinion wouldn't you
Having been driving for 22 years i'd say i'm pretty experienced.
Of course i agree all opinions are valid, doesn't make then right!
Let me ask you one thing about bus lanes. What do you fear from NOT having access to them ? Do you worry that PH drivers will lose lucrative account work ? Do you get concerned that the public see you as an inferior service ? What is it that makes you want access to bus lanes so badly ?
You don't work on a metered principle so being stuck in traffic has no bearing on the fare! The jobs are distributed via radio so i would imagine the nearest job goes to the nearest car thereby removing the need to get there in a hurry; indeed by virtue of how PH work and the control being in contact with the account that in itself would negate the need to hurry as you can call the account and tell them how long their car will be.
You mention a level playing field but i fail to see of what real benefit it would be to you other than cause more congestion in the bus lanes and no doubt endear you to the travelling public.
It may not have a bearing on a PH fare but it certainly has one on his next fare, if he's stuck in traffic all day he's not going to make much money is he. What would you say if they turned round and said HC can use the bus lanes but not when empty? Then your meter would be off. What disadvantage would it be to you if PH were allowed to use the bus lanes if the general public then stuck to the law and stayed out of them? Why would people who profess to make loads of money be so a***d hoping someone else doesn't.
