That is correct. I suppose the original writer confused "lane" and
"track", as there would (typically) be no reason to split a lane from
the main track. (I know one exception though. [1])

It depends on what is meant by "going to". In BRTs, the bus tracks run
through very long distances, not just in bus stations. They of course
"go to" bus stations, but I don't think it was intended for usage only
in/near bus stations.
