Unfortunately, we can't promise you anything better in MoCo.  Apparently all of the hipsters attended the same "Urban Planning" undergrad programs, and together with the Obama Department of HUD, will bring high density, "affordable housing," overcrowded schools, and bikes and buses replacing traffic lanes to all parts of the area (especially the affluent areas as we share the wealth.)  The death spiral of escalating taxes and diminished services has begun here...[/quote]

Buses that carry 40+ people at a time as compared to 40 cars carrying 1-2 people each? They should get their own lane.[/quote]

except that they buses won't actually be carrying 40+ people at a time.  They will be mostly empty because they are traveling the exact same route down Wisconsin Ave that the Red Line metro already travels, and faster -- even with its current malaise.   (<--- this comment assumes both PPs are talking about the GGW-beloved idea of removing one of the only three lanes of roadway from Wisconsin Ave from the District line to about Montrose, and dedicating that entire lane to buses.  If not, my apologies)

Does a bus in theory have more seating capacity than a Honda?  Sure.   [/quote]

I was referring to 16th/Georgia Avenue where there is a new bus lane coming in. It would be a great way of spurring demand for mass transit to have dedicated bus lanes where the mass transit vehicles would be able to move faster than the car traffic. One on Wisconsin Avenue to downtown would be a great idea. Connecticut Avenue and Rhode Island Avenue would make sense too. Why is that a bad idea? Wisconsin Avenue had a bus lane in the 1970's when I was growing up. It worked well.[/quote]
