There is a simple solution, force bus companies to install bus stops that
are
100% out of traffic flow


Bus companies don't install bus stops.


Then they don't get to stop. It's about time they started paying there way.


Unless it's a "no loading" area, a bus can stop wherever it wants to,
just like any car can. Bus stops are provided by the council for the
convenience of passengers, and bus companies use them because there's
no reason not to.

If the council didn't provide bus stops, the buses would just stop
wherever was convenient for them.
