BUSES' CONTROLS * UK - Wardens on the road to success
Paisley,Renfrewshire,UK -Paisley Daily Express, by Cameron Hay -Mar 12 2009: -- The introduction of a ‘Bus Wardens Hit Squad’ in Paisley has led to a dramatic drop in the number of traffic regulation breaches by vehicle operators... Strathclyde Partnership for Transport’s Service Compliance Scheme has delivered improvements for bus passengers throughout Renfrewshire and is now being adopted by other local authorities... The initiative was set up in November 2007 to target ‘cowboy’ operators... Since then, the number of breaches of traffic regulations has fallen from 287 in the first month to just 24 by December last year... Incidents of engines left running while buses were stationary fell from 83 to 10... Bus wardens have the power to insist drivers switch off engines if the bus is caught in stationary traffic for more than two minutes... And the number of buses failing to display correct destinations fell from 94 to just one incident in the last month of 2008...
