Yes, licensed commercial coach operators are permitted to use bus lanes.

Bus lanes can be used by large public service vehicles, which are defined in the Road Traffic Act 1961 (as amended) as mechanically propelled vehicles used for the carriage of persons for reward having seating passenger accommodation for more than 8 passengers exclusive of the driver.
