Mohin Khan, a 38-year-old Uber driver, has reported a 40% drop in earnings due to severe traffic congestion in Manchester city center. He blames the implementation of new cycle lanes, particularly on Deansgate, for exacerbating the situation. The one-way southbound traffic flow on Deansgate has resulted in significant delays, with drivers reporting jams lasting over an hour. Khan highlights the lack of infrastructure to accommodate the growing population and increased traffic volume, citing the impact of events at the AO Arena which further restrict access to the area.
An Uber driver says city centre gridlock has seen his takings slashed by forty percent in a year. Mohin Khan, 38, has spoken out after a weekend of jams in town sparked anger amongst residents and businesses. Particular ire has been directed at the creation of a cycle lane down the length of Deansgate which means traffic can now only travel one way - southbound - from the junction with King Street West all the way down to the crossroads at Liverpool Road.
An absolute joke': Fury over Deansgate cycle lanes after weekend of gridlock Drivers reported being stuck in jams for over an hour on and around Deansgate at the weekend with videos circulating online of fights breaking out among motorists. Residents and local businesses told the Manchester Evening News that the tailbacks have become a daily occurrence. And Mohin, from Longsight , says they are having a noticeable impact on his takings. 'It's chaos really.
