What are 'transit' lanes on some roadways typically used for?

Motorcycles only
Buses only
Cars with a single passenger
Any type of vehicle

The correct answer is: Buses only

Transit lanes are designated areas on roadways specifically intended for vehicles that facilitate public transportation, primarily buses. These lanes help ensure that buses can move more efficiently through traffic, thereby improving public transportation services and encouraging more people to use them. By reserving these lanes for buses, cities aim to reduce congestion, enhance travel speeds for public transport, and make it more attractive for commuters who might otherwise choose to drive. Other vehicles, such as cars with single passengers or motorcycles, typically do not have access to these lanes, which is why options indicating those uses are not correct. Transit lanes are essential for prioritizing mass transit, as they contribute to a more efficient transportation system overall.
