The city has launched a year-long pilot project that allows taxis to travel, but not stop, pick up or drop off passengers, in six of the city's seven bus lanes. The streets with bus lanes included in the pilot are: Pender, Hastings, Burrard, Broadway, Georgia and Granville streets. The project will help city staff determine whether the change will help taxis reduce travel times, particularly in congested areas, without significantly delaying buses. City staff will work with the Taxi Roundtable, TransLink, Coast Mountain Bus Company and police on this project.
