2016 Bus Ridership Stats

[bobtehpanda]

I agree with some sort of busway to allow buses to bypass traffic, but with the First av idea, the only main issue I'd have is that is that the bus still has to operate in stop and go traffic. Buses are still subject to traffic light pedestrians, and bikers who'll probably will utilize the busway to avoid street traffic. On top of that southbound traffic would be subject to a lot more red lights, which can make time saved questionable during certain parts of the day.

 

First Av already has bike lanes which coexist pretty well with the SBS lanes, there's no need to take the bus lane with a decent enough bike lane.

True .. but there a still bikers who don't use it.
