What are the permitted hours for using bus lanes?
1 Answers
Bus lanes are exclusively reserved for public transport vehicles during the designated hours of 7:30-8:30 AM and 5:00-6:00 PM on statutory working days. Outside these hours, other vehicles may use the bus lanes. In addition to buses, school buses, scheduled passenger coaches, and large/medium-sized fixed-route shuttle buses operated by institutions or enterprises carrying passengers are also permitted to use these lanes. When severe accidents or emergencies occur on other lanes leaving the bus lane as the only available route, non-bus vehicles may temporarily utilize the bus lane. The implementation of bus lanes may impact road traffic flow. Poorly designed bus lanes or bus routes that require buses to weave across multiple lanes to enter the dedicated lane can create movement conflicts and operational interference.
