Not to be confused with psv:lanes=* or bus:lanes=*, which are lane specific Access tags, example yes|yes|designated

The lanes:psv=* key can be used to mark the number of lanes reserved for public service vehicles on a way.

The most common value is 1, when a psv lane exists. For a two-way road with dedicated psv lanes in both directions, the value would be 2. If the lane is exclusive for buses only (no taxis allowed, for example), use lanes:bus=* instead.

If something is for buses and taxi and not for other PSV (or concept of PSV does not exist in the given area) then use lanes:bus=* + lanes:taxi=* instead

Where a way element has a psv lane only in one direction, use lanes:psv:forward=*, and lanes:psv:backward=* when that lane is usable in the direction of the way, or against the direction of the way, respectively.

If the whole road is exclusively for psv's, use regular access conditions: access=no + psv=designated ; motor_vehicle=no + psv=designated when shared by bicycles ; or else highway=busway or highway=bus_guideway where applicable.
