In the urbanist discourse, there's rightly a lot of discussion about barrier-protected bike lanes. But I think there should be more advocacy for dedicated bus lanes as well.

@ajsadauskas Yeah, they're quite common where I live, and they keep building more. Usually they build the two bus lanes in the middle, then barriers, car lanes, and then bike lanes. It does take up a lot of space though.

@veronica @ajsadauskas There honestly needs to be some reduction in car lanes towards public transport, either bus or train/tram

I think it has not happened due to the now visible cost of transporting people for societal good versus hiding it in the need to own and operate cars (which makes RDP go up)

@martintheg @veronica @ajsadauskas streetscape order of priority:
1. Pedestrian
2. Active transit/ micro-mobility
3. Public transit
4. Private transit
@martintheg @veronica @ajsadauskas not doing it makes driving worse. All citizens benefit.
