Taking away a lane for cars to create a dedicated bus lane made for faster commutes for everyone, thanks to faster, more reliable service on one of the region's busiest bus routes.

Tbh force semis to stay in the rightmost lane to alleviate traffic issues as well. 18 wheelers should not be in every lane going 2 miles below the speed limit and trying to pass each other for a 1 mph advantage.

This. If they’re not actively passing, they should be required to be in the rightmost lane. It should be illegal for semis to take up 2 lanes, especially when they’re moving at the same goddamn speed.

If there's more than two lanes they should move over, though, especially at on and off ramps. Everyone should. Let people get on and off easily.
