Bus Priority Schemes

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:
- Normal Bus Lanes which are active only during weekday peak hours
- Full Day Bus Lanes which are active throughout the day on Weekdays and Saturdays
- Bus Only Lanes are reserved for buses at all times.
These 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.
