Well, yes. The bus companies of course.
I can't help feeling that the decision was a foregone conclusion made before the survey was done, seeing as the report appears to indicate that some routes were worse off for not having bus lanes.

A problem not yet fixed by any council administration for 30 years.
The one issue is - where? Bridge Car Park would offer a small solution as the majority of car drivers entering the city do so via the A23.
