Question 6973
Is a passenger car allowed to drive in the bus lane?

- Yes, as long as it does not, in any case, obstruct traffic for taxis.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: No, it is a reserved lane that may not be used for driving.
You must not drive a passenger car in the bus lane, which is reserved for buses. In the image, a solid line also separates it, so you must not cross that line either. With a broken line, you could enter only to make a maneuver, such as turning or accessing a garage, yielding to buses. The rule in built-up areas allowing you to use the lane that best suits your destination applies only to regular lanes; reserved lanes do not count.
