A dedicated lane for buses seems like quite a waste if there aren't many buses sharing that same route. Dedicated lanes on a road like El Camino Real with plenty of traffic lights won't help too much either. I've lived in a city where there were dedicated lanes for buses and it was a nightmare if you were driving, especially if you had to make a turn that takes you across these dedicated bus lanes. There's also issues of bottlenecks where the bus lanes end and merge into regular lanes.
