Totally, buses never seem to stop at traffic lights.

In my city, Eindhoven in the Netherlands, traffic lights are often calibrated to make sure that buses don't have to stop at a red light.

It goes beyond that in the Netherlands. A lot of bus lanes have their own traffic light system -- they have very small lights to show when they can go or stop. :)

You're probably complaining about the reliability of this map but it is actually often the case. In my district the buses frequently run the red lights.

Well, they don't actually follow streets. Looks like it's just the shortest distance between two stops, even if that goes right through a building or over water.

Works surprisingly well though, I only realized after a while.

Public transport is often prioritized and they got green light using some kind of detectors or remote control.
