Question 1270 in the bank

Is a public minibus without passengers permitted to use a designated bus lane?

A grey road section with rows of short paired yellow bars along both edges and two yellow arrows pointing left in the middle.
  1. Correct answer: Yes.
  2. Yes, but only on Saturdays and holidays.
  3. No.
  4. Dotted lines mark the approach of a separation line. The driver should move to the left lane before the beginning of the separation line.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Yes.

A public minibus is a public transport vehicle, so it may drive in the lane designated for public transport. The permission comes from the type of vehicle, and there is no need for it to have passengers. It is also not limited to Saturdays, holidays or certain hours of the day.

Topic: Traffic signs. The bank marks it for these classes: Bus (D).
