It's all relative.
Do you mean it is slow compared to the portion with no overpasses, or slow compared to vehicles w/o dedicated lanes passing through the same intersections?
Passing through intersections is never particularly fast (except perhaps at night on empty reads with sensors far enough away to turn the light green before you even get there) - but at peak times dedicated lanes help a lot even when intersections are involved because you skip the queue.
- bryanlarsen 8y agoIt's slower than the car lanes; there are so many buses that the bus lane is more backed up than the car lanes. They are in the process of building a subway that'll take many of those buses out of downtown, though. (Ottawa, Canada).
- BeeOnRope 8y agoYes - a single dedicated bus lane doesn't work if there are so many buses that lane is busier than the car lanes! That would be a fairly unusual case in my experience though.
