    I read this as “Birmingham made a shortcut that only rich drivers can use”

      Birmingham made a shortcut for bus users. I’m not sure the city council would be able to implement income based fines itself, so the flat fines are probably the best that they can really do.

          Having looked at the timetables for the bus stops just ahead of this, I think the barrier would spend most of its time open.
