Yes, that's why they don't want to be stuck behind bicycles. Of course, if you don’t ride the bus and only pretend to care about buses, you don’t see a problem there.

[quote=Anonymous]Which is quite different from imaginary bus riders, made up by those unfortunate few whose obviously unrewarding hobby is expressing bigotry against people when the people are using bicycles. I often think such people would be happier if they used a bike to go somewhere, every now and then, but what can you do? Everyone has to make these decisions for themselves.[/quote]

I know the survey of commuters showed a pretty big demographic divide between bus riders and bike riders. But I didn’t imagine the divide was so large that all the cyclists commenting here seem to live in a bubble where they don’t even think bus commuters who don’t bike exist. It’s impressive.

Your response to “please keep cars and bikes out of bus lanes” is to say I must be a car driver and then to tell me to ride a bike. The possibility that someone could think that buses should be prioritized on part of a few roads actually brings out anger and insults from you.

That’s fine, but don’t get so angry at people suggesting lanes reserved only for buses and then call yourself a bus advocate. [/quote]
