Can a motorcycle use a lane reserved for public transport?

Correct answer

Yes, but only when traffic on the road has stopped.

According to the provisions of the traffic regulations, lanes marked with the words "BUS" or "TAXI" are reserved, either permanently or temporarily, for the exclusive movement, stopping or parking of buses or taxis, respectively. In these lanes, travelling, parking or stopping with vehicles that are not buses or taxis is prohibited, which includes motorcycles. However, because of congestion in large cities, the need to reconsider this regulation has been raised, allowing other types of vehicles to travel in them in some cases. Is it possible to travel by motorcycle in a bus lane? In general, the answer is no, unless a municipal by-law says otherwise. These lanes are specifically designed to facilitate the movement of buses and taxis, thereby promoting public transport.
