Are they going to hand the extra permits free? So is your answer to the question of whether there will be charging at some stage a No? If you don’t want to pay it restricts your movement. That’s exactly what you said you are objecting to. Public or private makes no difference. I’ve seen nothing that says Oxford would offer extra permits. Have you? My answer would be that no one can say, as we don’t know what will happen in the future.

A penalty is different to a charge for use of something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you can go through a bus gate as many times as you like.....and pay the fine which is justified by reducing traffic delays and speeding up bus travel in some places and reducing air pollution in some places too.

Paying a fee buys you permission. A penalty is to remind you that you don’t have permission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people, such as I, have never driven through a bus gate so, you don't need to live in a bubble, not to know what the fine is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
