Feature Request: Display Bus Lane (Public Transport Lane) Operating Hours
I would like to suggest a feature that displays the operating hours of bus lanes (public transport lanes) directly in Waze.
In many areas, bus lanes are restricted only during certain hours of the day and are open to private vehicles at other times. Many drivers are unfamiliar with the local restrictions and therefore either avoid using the lane when it is allowed or accidentally enter it when it is restricted.
Suggested functionality:
Display whether the bus lane is currently active or inactive.
Show the operating hours when approaching the lane.
Provide a warning when the lane is restricted.
Allow route planning to take these operating hours into account and use the lane when it is legally available.
Benefits:
Better traffic flow.
Shorter travel times.
Fewer traffic violations and fines.
Improved driver confidence and navigation accuracy.
Thank you for considering this suggestion.
This feature would be especially valuable in Israel, where many bus lanes operate only during specific hours and drivers often struggle to know whether they may legally use them at a given time.
