I think there must be a degree of confusion on the part of the people who try to jump the barriers - I wonder why there are some cars permitted the other side of the barrier. (See very beginning of the clip).
The confusement is born out of idleness usually. I want to get just that bit nearer the shops. Or it's a long way around town on the ring road. Lets just nip through here.
I think the fact that the silver car in the first incident first draws up to the barriers, has a look and then later rushes in behind the bus.... is all that is needed to realise what they were trying to do.
Very Mr Bean like.

What? Another revenue maker for the masses to roll their eyes at ?
No, these barriers seem to do the trick perfectly
There are some in my town for bus routes through the town and also for certain pedestrian zones at relevant times. So that only those permitted vehicles are allowed through. Normally, there's a talk station adjacent to the barrier with a buzzer/CCTV to the town hall.
Permitted vehicles only are seen in those areas, unlike when there are only signs up and no barriers.
