On urban roads, if you observe a public transport bus signaling its intention to join traffic from a stop, must you give way?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes, it is mandatory. General Traffic Regulations state that within built-up areas (urban zones), drivers must facilitate the merging maneuver of public transport vehicles leaving a marked stop. This implies that, if necessary, you must slow down or even stop to allow them to pass, provided it does not cause a sudden risk. The answer limiting this to 'school buses' is incorrect because the rule applies to all regular public transport.
