Electric cars to be allowed in UK bus lanes

Electric cars to be allowed in UK bus lanes London, Milton Keynes, Bristol, and Nottingham will share £40 million from the government to improve electric vehicle infrastructure. As part of the initiative, drivers of electric cars will also be allowed to drive in bus lanes. The money, from the government's Go Ultra Low City Scheme, will mostly be used to install new electric car service stations and street lights that double as charging points. Thousands of parking spaces will also be made free for electric cars, including 20,000 in Milton Keynes alone. See http://ift.tt/2a2JYSV
