Thanks bikebros!

1) that has nothing to do with 'bikebros'
2) if you go back and watch the June 3 DDOT presentation, they specifically said they do not consider Conn Ave a priority bus corridor because of the metrorail.

But please go on with you weird bike hate.

It has everything to do with bikebros. You've taken your eyes off of what matters in the pursuit of something that will do nothing to improve people's lives. Your exagerated bs of bike lanes being the solution to every single problem in the world has bled into real transportation issues. All those kids you claim to want to help just got screwed over bog time.

As we have told you all repeatedly, only half of Connecticut has metrorail service. Metro switches to Wisconsin at Van Ness. The most dangerous secrion is between Military and Nebraska on Connecticut. The most congested intersection is Nebraska and Connecticut. The highest volume of use on Connecticut is between Military and Nebraska. Guess what routes are getting cut. Guess where the schools are located.

But please go on destroying our entire local transportation network with your virtue signaling in areas you don't live in. Actually, please don't. We really need our ever dwindling buses.

DDOT has not had Conn Ave as a priority bus corridor since the 1980's when the red line was expanded north of DuPont Circle, and you are somehow blaming the actions of the "bikebros" over the last 4 years?

And yet the bus lines have been cut over the last four years. I wonder what the difference is?

this is honestly one of the more insane takes but I guess nothing should be surprising anymore.

WTF are you talking about? Cyclists don't dislike buses. We often use the buses and we're just as pissed off by the suburban-funding induced problems with WMATA and the dc-funding cuts for the Circulator as any one else in the city. Get real.

None of you give a damn about buses. When push comes to shove it's always bike lanes over everything else. See K Street. See Connecticut.

Then support the reinstatement of the 1970's era bike/bus lanes.

False. There’s one astonishingly selfish side to this debate and it’s not the bike people.

When Metro is losing over $40 million a year because of fair evasion — theft of services — including at the bus farebox, is it any wonder that Metro is forced to cut bus service?

The thing in common is Bowser pulling some last minute change-a-roo. Bike/Bus > motor vechicle is good by me any day of the week. K st plan lost more than just the bike lane, was also losing space allocation to pedestrians and bus transit users so that a third car lane and parking lane could be added on one side and a parking lane on the other side. So no, it was opposed for the same reason as Conn Ave - prioritizing cars and single occupancy vehicle usage over people.

I agree, we should not care about single occupancy vehicles. Especially when there's only 30 of them.

How is this the fault of the "bikebros"? There are no bike lanes on Connecticut, and there aren't going to be.

Those are both examples where the bike lanes were dropped from the plan, which seems to make them bad examples to point to if you're trying to show that bike activists always get what they want at the expense of bus riders. (That's ignoring the fact that most people who advocate for bike lanes also advocate for more mass transit. The common denominator is fewer cars.)
