That is theoretically true. But that only applies to places where there are dedicated bus lanes and where local law enforcement makes sure that only buses use those lanes. In those circumstances, buses can be extremely efficient. But in many places in NYC, bus-only lanes are often clogged by passenger cars trying to get around traffic.Places that don't have dedicated bus lanes can be nightmarish during rush hours, especially if multiple bus lines run on the same roads at the same time, or there is "bus-bunching". If bus lanes were grade-separated from the rest of vehicular traffic, I can see it being a very good alternative to driving. But you'd run into the same kind of NIMBYism you'd get if someone proposed an elevated light rail line. |
