Reply to comment by rossdowdell in Hot take: bus rapid transit on the boulevard would be better than a subway by avo_cado
That is because of cars, not because of buses

BRT = dedicated bus lanes

And as we all know cars never drive in those lanes. /s

They wouldn’t because there should be a concrete barrier

Ahh, so red paint. We see how that works elsewhere in the city.

Is brt bus rapid transit?

It does not matter what the cause is, buses are too slow.
A great thing the city did was make Chestnut a bus-delivery avenue in CC. Traffic flowed. Buses were on time.
The fantasyland where one day cars will be smote from the Earth is never happening. You either make byways that are buses only, find a way to make light rail applicable in urban areas or drive a car.

Wait I thought that's what bus rapid transit IS?

It a little bit matters what the cause is so that you can find a way to make things more efficient

They're not nearly as fast as a subway though.
