Question:

143. Deputy Alan Kelly asked the Minister for Transport if taxi drivers are permitted to drive in bus lanes when they are not working and their roof signage is not displayed. [30525/24]

Written answers

Minister for Transport

The current Road Traffic (Traffic and Parking) Regulations, as amended, allow for fare-carrying taxis to operate in bus lanes during the course of business.

On this basis, a taxi is only permitted to drive in a bus lane if working or carrying a fare-paying passenger. Taxis must carry prescribed branding and be fitted with a taxi meter, printer, and roof sign.
