Taxis in bus lanes
The City of Vancouver's one-year pilot project allowing taxis to travel in bus lanes started March 1. The pilot permits taxis to drive, but not stop, pick up or drop off passengers, in six of the city's seven bus lanes. Streets with bus lanes included in the pilot are Pender, Hastings, Burrard, Broadway, Georgia and Granville streets.
