Well, Wolverhampton City Council have decided to install bus lane cameras on the main roads into the city. The headline in the local paper being:-
"Council eagerly awaits the penalty ticket income from CCTV bus lane cameras."
A Councillor was interviewed for the article went on to explain that the costings had been done and the initial investment in hardware would be recouped within a short period of time after which there would be a significant and regular added income stream for the local authority.
