Great outcome but it boggles my mind the amount of resources put into “studies” and “research”. Like yea if you add a bus lane no shit it will run faster. That’s like saying “if you have less traffic, you can drive faster”. Imagine if the money spent doing these studies was just put towards construction of actual infrastructure.

Because when people come to meetings and go "bike cabals ruining my bakery rabble rabble rabble" they can say "no you're wrong and here's proof, shut up".

That's a casual joking reference. Obsession would be replying to every negative mention with something like "FAKE BIKER REVIEW NOT A CUSTOMER".

Think of it as an investment. The results shown in the graph are pretty clearly supportive of just how helpful these bus lanes can be while not having a significant impact on car drivers. That latter point is something that might be helpful in speaking to/convincing car drivers who don't like bus lanes.

Shouldn't you want to have a more precise idea about how much faster , and what effects it has on other travelers, for future implementation?
