Your first paragraph falls into an is-ought trap I think. You mean the law should allow the council to give such preferential treatment, but I'm pretty sure it didn't then at least.
Of course most of the other issues are pretty much irrelevant now anyway - the station forecourt is going to be completely remodelled when the misguided bus comes through, so maybe it won't be as much of a bottleneck. And many taxi drivers don't know Cambridge and rely on satnav to find things. With hilarious consequences.
But I really do think the trishaw operator threw a bit of a hissy fit back then.
