But you have many intersections where two bus routes cross. So how does signal priority handle that and how does it mess up other traffic because it disturbs the synchronized signals?Bus lanes are not the answer either. It hasn't helped on Woodhaven Boulevard. You don't need bus lanes when buses are operating at frequencies greater than every five minutes. The article omitted a lot. For example that six out if the seven democratic candidates support turning 25 percent of street space to non auto use by 2025, and that five of them support lowering the speed limit to 20 mph which means buses will also have to travel slower unless every street with a bus has a bus lane or becomes a busway. Some want BRT with protected bus lanes that are in effect 24 hours a day. That is only to punish drivers by eliminating as many parking spaces and driving lanes as possible. It isn't to help bus service because none of them talks about what is really needed to help bus service. |
