In Germany Taxis can't use bus-lanes by default, there must be an
additional sign to allow them (which is very often there).
German law also makes a distinction between a bus operating as a
public service vehicle (e.g. this sign:
http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Datei:Zeichen_245.svg&filetimestamp=20060729030602
and this sign: http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Datei:Zusatzzeichen_1026-32.svg&filetimestamp=20060809232509
) and buses as a vehicle type (e.g. these signs:
