Bus lane dispensation for taxi drivers
Are you a taxi driver in the Netherlands with a taxi operator licence? In some municipalities you may use bus or tram lanes. In some cases you need a bus lane dispensation (busbaanontheffing) from the municipal or provincial authority.
Applying for a bus lane dispensation
Ask your municipal or provincial authority if you need a bus lane dispensation. The application procedure and conditions may differ from one municipality or province to another. In general you will need to provide at least a copy of your driver’s licence and of your taxi driver’s card (taxipas).
