Bus-only lanes make for faster travel and ensure that buses are not delayed by mixed [[traffic congestion]]. A median alignment bus-only keeps buses away from busy curb-side side conflicts, where cars and trucks are parking, standing and turning. Separate rights of way may be used such as the completely elevated [[Xiamen BRT]]. [[Transit mall]]s or 'bus streets' may also be created in city centers.
