No because buses don't have to use the bus lanes if they do not want to. They can also and will use the auto traffic lanes because sometimes the bus lane is a bus stop and buses will have to go around stopped buses if they are not stopping. On the other hand through auto traffic must use the auto lanes which they now will have to share with trucks which presently are prohibited from the main roadway. It's not a question of simple arithmetic. You alsomhavebto consider hs much time the buses will actually save which in non-rush hours would be zero from exclusive lanes. All the time saved will be from fare pre-payment. On the other hand, other hand with 25% of te capacity reduced, travel times for cars and trucks will be increased by about 25%. |
