Cities: Skylines (Steam) - Emergency Vehicles not using Bus Only Highways

[ScarecrowRiot]

Describe your issue
Emergency Vehicles not using Bus Only Highways

What is your game version?
1.15.1-f4

What expansions do you have installed?
Mass Transit, Green Cities, Industries, Sunset Harbor

What mods are you using?
None.

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
While the description of the Bus-Only Highways claim that responding emergency vehicles would use them, when an area's entry point is a bus-only highway, they never get served by the emergency vehicles that solve the problems like crime, fire, death and garbage.

This feature works fine on 4 lane roads with bus only lane, but it doesn't work when the entire span of road/highway is bus only.

Can you replicate the issue? If yes, please explain how you did it.
If you set up a bus loop and make the entry point a bus only highway, the problems never gets responded by emergency vehicles.

Sure! If you need help looking for that spot - the bus line BRT#1 goes between 2 bus loops that look like this.

Here's the save:

I've noticed that garbage trucks don't use them, not sure about the emergency vehicles. This is on console btw.

@ScarecrowRiot Unfortunately the # in the filename doesn't play well with the forum, so I can't download your save. Can I get you to zip the file and name the file without the hashtag? It's best not to rename the .crp file so a zip is the best option here. Thanks!

@SteveBr Garbage trucks shouldn't be using bus-only lanes, only buses and emergency vehicles responding to an emergency can.

Sure!

Thank you! Looks like there is indeed an issue with emergency services not using the bus-only lanes as they should. We'll investigate the issue.

The setup in your screenshot would need a regular road connection too though as garbage trucks are not an emergency service and would not be able to reach the bus station if the only road in is a bus-only highway.

It would be cool if garbage trucks were also able to use those lanes. The biggest advantage of using bus only in and out is it stops hordes of sims clogging up the bus station when trying to park/pocket their cars.
