Plans to allow taxis in Belfast bus lanes for a further six months - a good idea to ease city traffic jams?

Should taxis be allowed in bus lanes? There is a currently a trial period that has been running for the last 12 weeks which permits taxis to use bus lanes on the east and west Belfast Rapid Transit routes and which is due to end this weekend. Now Belfast city councillors have passed a motion in favour of permitting all taxis to use bus lanes for an additional six months. The council will now write an official letter of support to the Department for Infrastructure. Is it better for the traffic flow for taxis to be in bus lanes? Does this help the new BRT route? We hear from Belfast taxi group member William McCausland and commentator Newtown Emerson.

Also on the programme, new debate show The Top Table aired last night - who said young people don't care about politics? Stephen and Vinny got the views of Andersonstown News columnist Andree Murphy and journalist Alex Kane.

And, a rates discount in NI if you pay your bill in one go - but is that really a tax perk for the rich? Stephen was joined by journalist Ben Lowry and trade unionist Carmel Gates.
