[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have never, ever heard anyone complain that buses are prioritized over bike lanes. To the contrary, in my neighborhood everyone supported the 8th street bus priority project and understood that a bike lane doesn’t fit there. You’re making sh*t up. [/quote]

Look at the numerous posts right before yours. If everyone agrees that bus lanes should be prioritized over bus lanes, that would be great! But that simple idea has drawn a lot of anger and accusations (and the attacks in your comment don't seem to be an exception).

As for the Connecticut Avenue link you posted, you should take a look at it. You'll note that the plan has dedicated bike lanes, but no dedicated bus lanes.[/quote]

What are you talking about?  Every cyclist in this thread is saying they wouldn't give a flying shit if another car lane was taken for a bus lane.  Or that a bus/bike lane would work fine if it could KEEP THE CARS OUT.  The problem with the shared bus/bike lanes in the city doesn't have anything to do with the buses.  It has everything to do with the temp tag jerks who drive in it.[/quote]
