Singapore’s bus lanes are designed to prioritize public transportation and ensure that buses can navigate through traffic swiftly. There are two types of bus lanes:
• Full-Day Bus Lanes: Operate from 7:30 AM to 8:00 PM on weekdays, except public holidays.
• Normal Bus Lanes: Operate during peak hours - 7:30 AM to 9:30 AM and 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM on weekdays, except public holidays.
Rules to Follow:
• Private vehicles, including cars, motorcycles, and bicycles, are prohibited from driving or parking in bus lanes during their operational hours.
• Violators can be fined or face demerit points on their driving records.
• The only exceptions are for vehicles turning left at junctions, accessing bus stops, or avoiding obstructions.
If you’re renting a car in Singapore, being aware of bus lanes is crucial for a smooth and lawful driving experience. Here are some tips to help you navigate these areas:
