School buses will be able to use the bus-only lane as well as

the general traffic lane

Because the roads will be made urban clearways, parents driving

their children to schools in the area will not be allowed to stop or

wait on the side of the roads,

Instead, provision will be made in side-streets for parents

to drop off their children at locations closest to their schools.

Special information material is being prepared for distribution

to the schools in the area, so that teachers, pupils, parents and school

bus operators will be familiarised with the arrangements in advance. -

The spokesman concluded: "We are confident that the scheme will

make travel to and from school easier.

"We also believe that the improved bus services in the area will:

offer a real and attractive alternative to private motorists who would

like to switch to public transport as a means of travel between Mid-Levels

and the main commercial and shopping areas on the Island."

Note to Editors:

Copies of a sketch-map illustrating the

scheme are boxed for collection.
