What is not allowed in a bus lane?

The correct answer is that private vehicles are not allowed in a bus lane during operating times. Bus lanes are specifically designated to prioritize public transport, ensuring that buses can travel more efficiently and arrive on time. When the lanes are in operation, they are restricted to public buses, taxis, and cyclists, who are permitted to use these lanes to promote a flow of public transport and active travel modes.

Allowing private vehicles in bus lanes during these times would defeat the purpose of the lanes; it could cause congestion and delays for buses, which is why such restrictions are strictly enforced. This regulation aims to facilitate a more efficient public transport system and encourage the use of buses, thereby reducing traffic congestion on regular roadways.
