Confusion over when motorcyclists can use bus lanes needs to be clarifiedLondon red route bus lanes were open to motorcyclists in a trial 4 months ago but it has been revealed that many bikers were unaware that it was only the bus lanes under the control of Transport for London (TfL), which is about 40% of the bus lanes in the capital. Outside of this individual councils operate other stretches of bus lanes. TfL will report back to the Mayor of London at the end of the trial.
