11. Bus lane
A bus lane is a traffic lane reserved primarily for buses or other authorised public-transport vehicles. It is intended to improve the reliability and flow of public transport by allowing authorised vehicles to avoid general traffic congestion.
Other road users, such as taxis, cyclists, motorcycles or vehicles carrying several occupants, may also be permitted when signs expressly allow them. The operating hours, permitted vehicles, direction of travel and rules for entering or crossing the lane depend on local traffic signs and regulations.

Which vehicles may use a bus lane in Canada?
Canadian reserved-lane rules vary by province and municipality. In Ontario, lane signs identify the permitted vehicle classes and whether the reservation applies continuously or during stated hours.
May bicycles and motorcycles use a bus lane in Canada?
Check the bus, taxi, bicycle or occupancy symbol on the actual Ontario sign. Permission under one municipal arrangement must not be assumed to apply to every Canadian bus lane.
Does bus-lane access also allow stopping or parking in Canada?
Apply the separate local stopping and parking restrictions. An Ontario lane sign permitting your vehicle during certain hours does not by itself authorise parking at a bus stop or within the lane.
