Here in Queensland at least, Transit lane violations are "moving" violations so require a police officer to issue an infringement notice, unlike parking where they can use anyone with more than 2 braincells to write out tickets.
This is a colossal waste of police resources and just reinforces the fact that collecting revenue is more important to them than enforcing the law.
If they were genuinely interested in improving traffic flow the law would read something like "Transit lanes may only be used by designated vehicles unless use would not impede the progress of said vehicles". But that would be hard(er) to enforce, so we are stuck with the stupidity of a third of our roads empty while the other two thirds are congested.
Rant over !!
Anyway, good to be here (my first post)
