由来
  • 英语“bus lane”的音译兼意译，也是“巴士专用道”（bus priority lane）的简称。
  • 设立巴士道是为了让巴士在繁忙的时段能更快、更通畅地行驶。新加坡的巴士道是最左边的一条车道。
  • 巴士道计划由陆路与交通管理局（Land Transport Authority）在1970年代所推行的。
  • 一般的巴士道以黄线划分，其他的车辆不能在以下时段使用巴士道——星期一至星期五上午7时30分至9时30分及下午5时至8时。
  • 2005年，陆路与交通管理局推出全天巴士道。全天巴士道以黄线及红线划分，其他的车辆不能在以下时段使用——星期一至星期六上午7时30分至11时。
  • 其他车辆如果在规定时间内使用巴士道，属于违法行为，可被罚款130新元。
  • 有了巴士道，巴士的通行速度提高了7%至16%。
  • 虽然脚踏车、提供紧急服务的车辆、警察车和其他非公共交通的巴士（如工厂巴士、校车等）获准使用巴士道，但这些车型不能在巴士道内停下或接送乘客。
ETYMOLOGY
  • The Mandarin term “巴士道” is both a transliteration and paraphrase of the English term “bus lane”, and is also an abbreviation of “bus priority lane”.
  • Bus lanes were established to allow buses to travel faster and more smoothly during peak hour traffic. In Singapore, the bus lane is the leftmost lane.
  • The bus lane scheme was first introduced by the Land Transport Authority in the 1970s.
  • Bus lanes are demarcated by yellow lines. Other vehicles are not allowed to drive on bus lanes during the following periods: Monday to Friday from 7:30 am to 9:30 am and 5 pm to 8 pm.
  • In 2005, the Land Transport Authority launched full-day bus lanes. Full-day bus lanes are demarcated by yellow and red lines. Other vehicles are not allowed to drive on these bus lanes during the following periods: Monday to Saturday from 7:30 am to 11 pm.
  • It is illegal for other vehicles to drive on bus lanes during the specified hours. Motorists who do so can be fined $130.
  • Bus lanes have improved bus speeds by 7% to 16%.
  • Although bicycles, emergency service vehicles, police cars and other private buses (such as factory buses, or school buses) are allowed to use bus lanes, they cannot stop or pick up passengers in bus lanes.
