Calls for $4 million in fines from bus lane to be refunded

There's a call for more than four million dollars in fines for a notorious Wellington bus lane to be refunded, with claims its almost impossible for drivers to comply with the rules. Council data shows in the 12 months since March 2025, more than 28,000 fines, worth four and quarter million dollars have been issued to drivers illegally in the Cambridge Terrace Bus lane. The bus lane that allows motorists to turn left into Courtney Place accounts for almost 75 percent of bus lane fines issued in the capital. Graeme Farr spoke to Lisa Owen.
