As far as I understand, licenced taxis can use the bus lanes at any time. Most of the stretches of road with bus lanes I use on a regular basis are out of the centre of London and it totally pisses me off being undertaken by empty taxis that are clearly on their way to or from home and not actively plying for fares. Based on this, should bus drivers be able to use bus lanes in their private car if they are heading to / from work?
Obvioulsy as marcopolo suggests, policing a no taxi in bus lane unless it is actually working would be currently near impossible.
