Correct answer

  • ANo, en general.No, in general.
Explanation

As a general rule, motorcycles may not use bus lanes, as laid down in the General Traffic Regulations. This is because these lanes are reserved for public transport and authorised vehicles, for example in specific situations, so motorcycles are prohibited from using them in order to keep traffic flowing smoothly and safely.
