The roads in the inner city of Sydney has been overruled by bike lanes. Its main objective is to encourage the using of bikes. However, the bicycle lanes are so wide until the extent to cause dangers for buses.This has caused many complications to the residents as the buses are no longer willing to stop at where they supposed to.
This issue has created a disputable issue between the residents and council. Residents blame the failure of council to see the big picture when they run the bike lane project. On the other hand, the council defend by saying that they have been treated as 'scapegoat'
As we can see from the news, the bike lanes have its pros and cons as well. However, the initial good intention to encourage cycling in order to promote green city seems like not yielding its desirable effects. Sarcastically, it has create angers among the residents in the area due to the bus service system. I personally think that the bicycle lanes should not be broaden to the extent that can cause dangers to other large vehicles. This lanes should be reviewed so that it can exist without affecting the flow of other vehicles on the roads
