London - in the UK, the motor even given the privilege to drive in a special way the bus.

As reported by Motorcyclenews, Tuesday (27/12/2011), has been tested motor for driving in bus lanes for 18 months.

London Government apparently satisfied with their step because it managed to reduce congestion there. Therefore, the motor is allowed to permanently use a special street of buses begin January 23, 2012.

London estimates that in the test period was about 50,000 units of motorcycles speeding down the road the bus. In addition to reducing congestion, the move was believed to successfully reduce CO2 emissions and reduce the travel time of the bikers.

But this does not mean without a hitch, those who use bicycles instead outcry. The London Cycling Campaign said they saw threatened the safety of bicycle users. It is pointless if pemotor granted the right to drive in bus lanes.
