The average weekday HSR ridership is higher, at 70,000, but given that the total ridership for the Main/King bus lines was about 25,000 per day (averaging weekend with weekday) in 2007 it seems unlikely the bus lane would carry more riders than all the other lanes on Dundurn and King (or even King alone if 20,000 or so of the 39,0000 at the intersection were on King). However, it seems likely that the bus lane is carrying more people than two or three vehicle lanes since there are a total of 10 vehicles lanes at that intersection (so an average of 3900 vehicles per lane).

Don't forget that the bus lane also services GO Transit and Greyhound, and other coach lines whose ridership is not included in the HSR figures. GO transit alone would likely add about another 2000 weekday passengers based on frequency and capacity.
