1. Bus lane

A bus lane is a designated lane on a road or street that is reserved specifically for buses. These lanes allow buses to travel more efficiently and avoid traffic congestion, helping them maintain schedules and provide faster public transport services. They are often located near bus stops to allow buses to pick up passengers without delaying traffic.

• Exclusively for Buses - Bus lanes are typically marked with signs and road markings that indicate they are meant for buses only.
• Reduces Traffic Congestion - By providing a dedicated lane for buses, these lanes help ensure that buses can avoid getting stuck in regular traffic.
• Can Be Shared - In some cases, bus lanes may be shared with other types of vehicles during certain times (like taxis, bicycles, or private cars during off-peak hours), but they are mostly reserved for buses during peak times.
• Clearly Marked - Bus lanes are often marked with special signs or road paint that indicate their purpose and hours of operation.
