5 Questions of the survey 1. Length of the existing bus lanes 2. Date of the introduction of the first bus lane 3. Reaction of the city population 4. What other vehicles are enabled to ride the bus lanes? 5. Consequences of a non-permitted use

6 6 Results of the survey (1/3) 15 answers - thank you very much! In every answering city, there are buslanes An average answering city has installed the first bus lane in 1981 and has today 114 km of bus lanes Taxis are everywhere accepted on bus lanes, except for Sevilla Bycicles are permitted in 6 cities, motorbikes in South Yorkshire

7 7 Results of the survey (2/3) Usage of bus lanes by non-permitted vehicles is everywhere fined Fines have a wide scale, from 25 EUR (Warsaw) up to 120 GBP (London) Some bus lanes are connected with a whole marketing concept (Zuidtangent, Amsterdam) In Torino there is an interesting idea to use the cameras in buses to collect evidence (photos)

8 8 Results of the survey (3/3) Reactions of the population:  Rather mixed: car drivers are against, PT passengers are happy  In most of the cities, increase of the PT market share was observed after implementation of bus lanes  STIF & Montreal have reported about a bad perception in a small extent
