Even with a dedicated lane, there will still be more delays than with a grade separation (subway). Intersections are a bottleneck.

- strken 7y agoIntersections aren't as much of a factor when the majority of travel is on a freeway.
- fiter 7y agoAre you thinking of dedicated on-ramps and off-ramps as well? Otherwise, I think stops will take a long time due to lane changes.
- tomjakubowski 7y agoNot when buses get signal priority.
- fiter 7y agoSignal priority over pedestrians too?
- bluGill 7y agoA bus every 5 minutes carries enough people to be worth that, and leaves plenty of space in between for pedestrians to cross. (Assuming a dedicated lane). For various reasons you should get a bus to come more than once every 5 minutes, upgrade to a train. (with great dispatch you can get down to every 3 minutes, but it is better to put in a non-grade level train at that point)
