How much is a bus lane fine in Northern Ireland?
nidirect states that camera-detected illegal use of a bus lane, bus-only street or bus gate can result in a £90 PCN sent to the registered keeper.
The 50 per cent discount applies when payment is made within 14 days. If you believe the vehicle was allowed to use the lane or the allegation is wrong, you can challenge the PCN instead.
You can view the available photo and video evidence using the PCN number and vehicle registration. Check that evidence before deciding whether to pay or contest the notice.
Bus-lane PCNs are statutory notices. The official video evidence, operating hours, signs and exact vehicle movement are usually central to a useful challenge, so record those details before submitting anything.
Keep copies of every document and note the dates you sent or received correspondence. If formal court papers arrive, respond through the court process by the stated deadline rather than assuming an earlier appeal or complaint has paused proceedings.
