And they they get pissed if you tell them
See also: bike lanes. See also: rideshare/delivery drivers.
They solve this near me by not having any buses or bike lanes.
Hey look same solution here!
;-;
I just broke my arm in 4 pieces because I had to dodge a moron who decided to suddenly park on the bus/bike lane IN A FUCKING TUNNEL
Break my arm in 4 pieces This is my last resort
If not park, why park shaped?
Reminds me that just recently I heard they equipped busses with automatic "AI assisted" detection in their lanes. In very little time they've issued 10k tickets, though.

....I can actually get behind that.
They've had them on busses in London for years now. They seem to be highly effective. I'm not sure if they are fully automated, or driver triggered however. Either way, they have trained people that stopping or using a bus lane is a bad idea.
Oh look, a use of AI and surveillance I can actually get being.
We used to just call these "Automated", nowadays we called everything with slightly automation an "AI".
Computer vision is AI and has been called as such for a long time, way before the current wave of AI/LLMs. You can call it whatever you want. An automaton that can sense the environment, read information and make decisions on it is a kind of AI.
I'm just glad they are not calling random stuff "blockchain" anymore
A tool is a tool. Main problem are the tools using the tools, usually.
Just equip the buses with snow plows.
I feel like if a car is parked in a bus lane or bike lane, people should be allowed to do what they want to it. Sure , go ahead and park there, I've got my baseball bat ready.
All it takes is a bit of fines and the issue is fixed
Yeah in the Netherlands nobody would even try to park in a buslane or bicycle path, because you'd either get a fine or you will be towed and that we'll probably cost you 350 euros or more.
Why would already parked cars move into the buss lane??
