Question 1271 in the bank

Is a taxi with passengers permitted to use a designated bus lane?

  1. Dotted lines mark the approach of a separation line. The driver should move to the right lane before the beginning of the separation line.

  3. No.
  4. Correct answer: Yes.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Yes.

A taxi with passengers may drive in the lane designated for public transport, so driving in it is permitted. The permission is not limited to Saturdays and holidays, and not only to rush hours. A taxi driver with passengers can use the lane at other times of the day too.
