Tram Camera In Action!

Drivers in Melbourne beware: there's more cameras on the road! Please be careful of trams in the future, otherwise you may get fines in your mailbox.

IMHO this is just another exercise to increase revenue. If the council wants to improve traffic, the only solution is to get rid of trams, and use buses and bus lanes instead, similar to Brisbane. Trams are inefficient because they can't overtake other trams, cause unnecessary lane-hogs for cars, and require irritating hook turns. I'm sure Melbournians can list more reasons to hate trams and opt for buses instead.
