Allow Salford Private Taxis to drive in Bus lanes

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

Salford Private Taxis are not permitted to drive in Bus lanes, however other Private Hire taxis are from other area and can free drive in any Salford Manchester bus lanes. Example Rosendale.

We consider ourselves as a public service.

Therefore we would like to be given the same privilege.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
