Reacting to the news that Transport for London’s High Court injunction has prevented Addison Lee drivers from using bus lanes, Leader of the Liberal Democrats on the London Assembly and candidate for Deputy Mayor, Caroline Pidgeon said:
“I’m delighted with this outcome, bus lanes should be for buses and black cabs only. Allowing any more vehicles in them could cause gridlock and inconvenience hundreds of thousands of passengers a day.”
