Reply to comment by RededHaid in I-95 in CT ranks as most congested corridor in USA beating out LA; Merritt Parkway also makes top 10 by celticnutjob

Because someone suggested buses running in HOV lanes as a solution. We already have that in Connecticut, so we should know whether that's a legitimate solution for this corridor or not because we have a decade's worth of data.

Are you comparing a bus/HOV lane on 95 to a convoluted commuter bus path from new Britain to Hartford?

Why is it convoluted? They reused an old RR right of way, and with the BRT solution they used, different routes can branch off as needed.

It's been rated highly as a good use of the technology.
