The transport authority finally confirmed that motorcycles are permitted in bus lanes. It took a long time to get here but this outcome makes the struggle worth it. Keep your eyes on the road and stay safe out there.

- Motorcycles contribute the least to city traffic while are the most vulnerable vehicles in it
- Lane filtering was the first step the government took that respects the actual nature of a motorcycle and its purpose that can reduce traffic for everyone
- From a safety perspective the government is hypocritical to allow bicycles to share the bus lanes with the buses while prohibit motorcycles
- Many European cities with significant traffic permit lane sharing between buses and motorcycles as a further incentive to reduce traffic

Seeing this grow is exhausting but it proves that I am not the only one tired of being ignored on the road. The momentum is real now and it feels like we finally have enough weight behind this to actually be seen.

Hoddle Street in Melbourne is a prime example of it working in Australian conditions. It must be extended through the state.
It is a safer option using bus lanes when they are available instead of lane filtering. Some cars are still oblivious to us riders or try to block us in on purpose. By using the bus lanes it would take some of the danger away both from physically being hit by a car and or aggression toward riders.
Couldn't agree more. Especially in places like Stud road where there is a bus every 10-15 minutes this lane would make my daily commute much safer.
Yesssss!!! If cyclists get their own lane for safety, we should be able to share a mostly unused lane with busses.
Agree totally, growing up in Sydney where you are allowed to use bus lanes , I was suprised to find out you can't in Melbourne,
A safer and better option to lesson congestion.
This have to be on

This would save lives and injuries, also TAC paying out, which is the big convincer for our Government.
