Here's the Mancunian Way for today:
Hello
In the space of a year, Manchester Council received more than £5.5m in revenue from penalty notices handed to drivers caught using bus lanes in the city centre.
In the last financial year, between April 2022 and April this year, Manchester council issued 216,800 fines to unauthorised vehicles entering bus lanes.
Drivers are typically handed £60 fines for the action, which is reduced to £30 if paid within two weeks, reports the M.E.N's James Holt.
Drivers have also been caught using a new 24-hour bus gate in Deansgate that means that only buses, taxis and cycles can travel south between the junctions for Blackfriars to King Street West. Bus lane cameras have also been keeping watch of drivers at another recently implemented bus gate on Bridge Street.
A spokesperson for Manchester Council said of the figures: "In line with the Council's long-term transport strategy it is important to find ways in which public transport can be made quicker and more efficient, as well as encouraging residents to consider public transport their first choice when travelling.”
The total figures for the 12 month period stand at £5,532,617.89. In the previous financial year, that figure is understood to have been around £6.1m.
In today's Mancunian Way, we'll be looking at a new smoking rule, this weekend's train strikes and a Kersal photographer.
One of Manchester’s newest parks is to become a smoke-free zone with people asked not to use cigarettes, cigars and vape in the public space.
