Manchester paper launches 'bus chaos' campaign

The Manchester Evening News launched a campaign today to sort out the bus chaos which it says is "crippling the heart of Manchester." The paper says that dozens of empty buses blocked traffic in the city centre "yet again" yesterday as a battle by rival transport firms entered its third week. The problem began when a company began running services on a route already served by another company. It meant 30 buses tried to cram into the same bus stops, causing tailbacks which brought the city centre to a standstill, with trams and cars stuck for up to an hour. (Via Manchester Evening News)
