I'm sure it'll never happen, but what do you think in principle?

There are also "temporary" bus lanes that they painted down during the orange line shutdown that are entirely unused now but still painted there.
How am I supposed to be able to tell which ones are real and which are fake.
Yeah the fact that the city didn't undo the painting for the temporary ones just makes people less likely to follow current/future ones. What a joke.
Take the damn ramp back from the staties
Simply wouldn't be feasible. Would cause traffic jams on both ends that would hold up everyone, buses included. Realistically there should have been a third tunnel sank for a bidirectional busway when the big dig was done, serious missed opportunity.

It already has a dedicated lane under the harbor, called the Blue Line.
No.
Drivers who know it won’t be enforced would love to have a lane to themselves.
Yes. Having buses sit in traffic is a policy failure.
If transit riders account for at least half of the total bodies using the tunnel, they should get half the real estate.
They shut off TWT traffic coming from Logan last night due to complete gridlock. Second time in a week I had to take a detour through Revere to go south! What a cluster.

Building the Red-Blue connector would get rid of a lot of the transit traffic in the tunnel.
lol and make it even more of a clusterfuck?
No, not if it would mean eliminating a lane for POV's.
Isnt that wuta bus is

No because of gridlock, a car sitting idle releases way more pollution than moving.. You want a cleaner /greener city? Keep cars moving..
This is the most uninformed take I’ve ever seen.
If we want a cleaner/greener city, we should be incentivizing taking transit, not taking personal cars for every journey. Dallas is pretty good at keeping cars moving. If that’s your idea of a cleaner/greener city, I want no part of it.

they should have built it that way, but not now. Look at all the other protected bus lanes in the area that are just ignored. Without enforcement, they're just a waste.
