Manhattanites against the Manhattanization of Manhattan

In one of the densest neighborhoods on the continent, where 74% of households don’t own a car, a few residents and elected officials are railing against bus lanes for 15,000 daily riders, who experience bus speeds as low as 4 mph during rush hour. Car brain is regressive.

As Manhattanites, all of them do take a car service or drive where they need to go. eliminating a lane of the street just for the poors on the bus means worse traffic in the car lanes. Public transportation is not safe, and no one in that picture is riding the bus

Transit advocates will impose bus lanes where they aren't wanted and then use the resultant decrease in average MPH on city streets to justify congestion pricing.

I’m a driver. I drive in bus only lanes every chance I get, I stop in virtually every bus zone I see, and I am absolutely ecstatic whenever I hear a car gets ticketed for it. Because I drive the bus. Wish you had interviewed a transit operator, we could explain why this is just.

Classic Local News Moment to do a piece on how 10s of thousands of drivers are driving in bus lanes in DC and not interview a single bus rider or driver. Great stuff.

The fact that students with free passes are also turnstile jumping gives the game away. It has nothing to do with ability to pay, people have just decided it is cool and right.
