🚌🚨 New Road Rule Now in Effect!

From October 1st 2026, If you're driving on a road with a speed limit of 60km/h or less, you must give way to buses indicating to enter your lane.

This change helps buses re-enter traffic safely, improves journey reliability, and supports a more efficient public transport network.

Look out for indicating buses and give them space to merge safely.

Because every minute saved helps keep our buses moving⏱️💙
