"The exclusive lanes gave ZERO EFFECT ON BUS SPEED DURING THE OFF-PEAK."Your claim. Obviously the benefits will be reduced, but I see no reason to believe they will be nonexistent. "AND IT CERTAINLY WILL MAKE CAR TRIPS SLOWER." No. You have not substantiated such. "A YOU CANNOT REDUCE ROAD CAPACITY BY UP TO 50 PERCENT FOR GENERAL TRAFFIC and also claim it will move faster. WILL NEVER HAPPEN." But there is no reduction in road capacity by anywhere near 50%. Even so, That is a false claim. Reductions in road capacity CAN CERTAINLY make traffic move faster, even ones GREATER than 50%. Say you have a road which is a 6 lane highway, which suddenly narrows down to a single lane in each direction. If they were to make it a 2 lane highway without the 6 lane segment, the through capacity is the same, but without the traffic caused by the merge, people would go through faster. |
