Normally used on one way roads which have a bus lane only in the opposite direction to the main traffic flow.
For oneway roads which have bus lanes in both directions, you would use oneway=yes, busway:left=lane and busway:right=lane.
Alternative tagging
This tag is somewhat controversal because it follows a similar structure as cycleway=opposite and related tags which have been deprecated in June 2024[1], though busway=opposite_lane hasn't been formally deprecated.
An alternative is to tag the road with oneway:bus=no and use whichever preferred bus lane tagging scheme.
If using busway=* tagging, use busway:side=lane (with side being the position of the contraflow lane) and busway:side:oneway=-1[note 1]. See cycleway:oneway=* for more Details.
