That was an obvious typo. I meant to write 100,000 motorists. Over three times the numbers using buses, also traveling longer distances in the car than bus riders are traveling in the buses, many of whom are riding the bus not for a short distance of a mile or two to access the subway.

Congestion will not be reduced since SBS (or a ten minute time savings) is not a big enough savings for someone one to switch modes.

And yes having to drive an extra mile to make a left turn or even an extra ten minutes in addition to other delays is significant as is cutting your average speed in half.

If congestion will be reduced as you suggest, why have the bus lanes caused somany to switch to Alderton northbound that residents have proposed making the road a one-way southbound? They are seeking alternatives because traffic has already become intolerable during the rush hours and you want to extend these delays to all day long and to weekends when bus riders will not even benefit from those lanes.
