Can You Drive a Minibus in a Bus Lane?

Mar 11, 2025

You can drive a minibus in a bus lane depending on the signage displayed. It doesn’t matter if that vehicle is operating under a Section 19 Permit or an operator’s licence. A bus is defined as being a vehicle with 9 passenger seats or more, a small bus is a vehicle carrying 9-16 passengers. Minibuses can be driven in most bus lanes UNLESS the bus lane sign says ‘local’ which means that the bus lane is reserved for local services.
