A lane for buses, but also taxis and soon electric scooters?

The Public Service site indicated on Friday that they could now circulate on the lanes reserved for buses, in order to avoid traffic.

It is now up to the local authorities to authorize access to these routes on a case-by-case basis, according to the mobility orientation law passed at the end of 2019.

“This modification to the Highway Code has just been implemented by the government, and it is obvious that this will change the journeys of a good number of owners of electric scooters and motorcycles in France, and in particular in Paris, where we are. .

Our customers will now be able to drive on certain "reserved lanes", that is to say in particular all the bus and taxi lanes, "explains Julien Garcia, managing director and co-founder of the two Parisian stores Les Nouveaux Scooters.

Except that in Paris, the decision is far from being settled and a discussion on the subject is not yet on the “agenda”, says one at the Hôtel de Ville.

Do you ride a scooter and find it a good thing to have access to the bus lanes?
