It’s not just about saving commuters time. Bus lanes also improve reliability and reduce variability on bus routes (traffic is random) and saving just a few minutes each direction across an entire route could even reduce the number of buses that need to be run on frequent busy routes, saving money.
Self proclaimed "transit advocate" councilor @sarahkirbyyung.bsky.social questioning staff on why Vancouver needs bus lanes if they only save each commuter a few minutes per trip... Yikes 😬
