Yes, it’s not uncommon in the civilised dumbfuck-socialist world to have free or subsidised means tested bus pass, bus lanes. Bus services that are faster and more frequent due to less congestion due to higher demands. Sometimes well established buss routes can even evolve into even more efficient technology.
