Question 257: To ask the Minister for Transport his views on whether buses and taxis should be confined exclusively to bus lanes on routes where they are available; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [33482/06]

Bus lanes are provided to facilitate the running of large public service vehicles and access is also permitted to taxis that are operating in the course of business. I do not consider that there is a need to amend road traffic regulations to impose a mandatory driving rule that buses and taxis should be confined exclusively to bus lanes where these are available.
