Extended Operation Hours For Full-Day Bus Lanes

By  |  0 Comments

Attention all drivers, there is an amendment to the operating hours of full-day bus lanes.

Currently, full-day lanes operates from 7.30am to 8.00pm on weekdays and Saturdays, excluding public holidays. But this is set to change with effect from 21 March 2016 onwards, with the operating hours of all full-day bus lanes extended by three hours, to end at 11.00 pm.

As part of a six-month trial, the Bus Priority Box will also be implemented at two bus stops along Orchard Road to evaluate its usefulness at bus stops without bus bays. The Bus Priority Box scheme mandates motorists to give way to buses exiting bus stops. These two bus stops are:

• Opposite Mandarin Orchard (bus stop number 09037)
• Midpoint Orchard (bus stop number 09038)

The LTA is likely to revise the Bus Priority Box schemes based on findings from this six-month trial.

For more information on how the bus lane scheme works, please refer to this website.
