City extends Princes Street car ban

Traffic has been banned from travelling along Edinburgh's Princes Street. Councillors also say it will significantly improve local bus services to the capital's famous shopping strip, which runs below and alongside Edinburgh Castle.

Which is all very bizarre, because the side of Princes Street that suffers from congestion is the side that cars were already banned from driving down.

But hey, since when has the council let facts get in the way of a stupid decision??
