Under the Road Traffic (Traffic and Parking) Regulations 1997 taxis are permitted to use with-flow bus lanes but contra-flow bus lanes are reserved solely for use by large public service vehicles. This is based on road safety considerations. There are no plans to permit taxis to use contra-flow bus lanes.
