Vancouver's buses are PACKED. So why don't we have more bus lanes?
On Wed, Jun 19, 2024 Movement was honoured to welcome two transit experts from the US - Kate Elliott from New York and Dongho Chang from Seattle.
The topic? Some cities in the US are building TONS of bus lanes and transit priority. Meanwhile, Vancouver has more transit users than those cities - so why aren't we honouring them by building more bus lanes?

I love the sky-train system they have in Vancouver, but I can clearly remember being very disappointed with how over-crowded some bus lines were, and how slow it could be to get somewhere by bus, during some of my visits to Vancouver. The contrast in the quality of the experience has been quite striking in my admittedly limited experiences when visiting and traveling in Vancouver.
