Public consultation on Taxis in Bus lanes Experimental Traffic Control Scheme
The ongoing Experimental Scheme will also be extended for a further six months to enable us to monitor the effectiveness of the scheme since the reopening of Durham Street.
A DfI spokesperson said:
“As the Experimental Scheme permitting taxis to use some city centre bus lanes has been place for a period of time, we are keen to hear views from interested parties. The public consultation now open will provide road users and key stakeholders with the opportunity to express their views and make representations for the Department to consider in our future decision-making on this issue. The Department will also continue to monitor the effectiveness of the scheme and the impact on road users.
“An online survey is available at: Taxis in bus lane Citizen Space survey and we encourage people to respond by 5pm on Wednesday 10June 2026.”
