Bus Priority Schemes
Bus lanes
Bus lanes are dedicated lanes for public buses, often found on the leftmost lane of arterial roads. Three types of bus lanes exist in Singapore:
- Part-day Bus Lanes also known as Normal Bus Lanes are marked in yellow and active only during Weekdays peak hours from 0730 to 0930 and 1700 to 2000.
- Full-day Bus Lanes are marked in red and yellow and active throughout the day on Weekdays and Saturdays from 0730 to 2300.
- Bus Only Lanes are marked in red and reserved for buses at all times.
They allow buses to move through congested roads, but their effectiveness is limited by the need to accommodate traffic turning in and out of side roads.
Bus lanes can also be used by cyclists in single file, non-scheduled buses (such as school buses and factory buses), and emergency vehicles. Non-scheduled buses are not allowed to make stops or board/alight passengers along bus lanes.
