As far as blocking the lanes. They are trying to make the public transportation as fast as possible, sometimes at the expense of the driving public. At the same time does the average citizen have the right to croud the streets because he wants to drive his own car. Each person makes all of the others a little slower. Allowing the bus lanes provides an incentive to use the public transportation because it may be a little faster. If more people use the public transportation, then there would be fewer cars on the road, everybody wins.

A lot of people are spoiled with cars and their "convenience." Yet, I see many well-off people use public transit but the traveling salesman or soccer mom with 3 kids would have little or no use for public transit.

Does this irrate you to?


A soccer mom and her 3 kids cannot take public transit to go to soccer practice so the gas guzzling minivan comes into play.
