Red Route Bus Stop
In plain English
Bus stop on a red route — only buses may stop here; taxis may stop briefly to pick up or set down.
What it means
Bus stops on red routes are marked with a broad continuous line (yellow being phased out to red). Only buses may stop in the bus stop bay during operating hours. Licensed taxis may pick up or set down passengers at a bus stop on a red route where the line is yellow or double red — but not where there is a broad red line. Disabled badge holders may not stop in a bus stop bay on a red route.
