Bicycles, charter and school buses, as well as marked taxis will be allowed to use the lanes, officials said. The city also is moving forward with a dedicated bus lane on 16th Street NW, one of the busiest bus corridors in the region. “Bus lanes are a crucial tool to changing that.”Transit advocates are excited about the new lanes and about the possibility of reviving an extensive network of bus lanes that disappeared after the Metro system was built. The H Street lane will stretch from Pennsylvania Avenue NW to 14th Street NW; the I Street bus lane will start at 13th Street NW and end at Pennsylvania Avenue NW. The new additions is about 1.4 miles of bus lanes downtown.
