[b]Except the public transportation options proposed by people like the PP will also leave ALL drivers sitting in worse traffic than before as they take existing lanes for dedicated bus lanes[/b], etc.

If you were sitting there on the highway in your single-occupancy vehicle, fingers clenched around the steering wheel, surrounded by other people in their single-occupancy vehicles, and you saw a bus go by in the dedicated bus lane, would you think

a. Hey,  maybe I should try using that bus for my trip!
b. I don't care how much faster/more convenient/less stressful it might be to go by bus, I am never ever ever going anywhere except in my own car.[/quote]
