- andreaja 1y agoAnecdotally, I'm pretty sure this phenomenon occurs even with bus lanes.

- brainwad 1y ago> junctions still slow them down This is also mostly fixable, with signal priority. Except at complex intersections where different roads each have transit lines fighting for priority.
- xnx 1y ago> One or two people in cars shouldn't be able to delay an entire line It happens all the time that one or two people on the bus itself (or, even worse, train) delay the whole line. The fundamental problem is inflexible public transit.
- globular-toast 1y agoYou can't magically create more space out of thin air. The easier solution to the car problem is to get rid of the cars.
