Re: "Whereas the Bus Lane Pilot project has created unnecessary traffic congestion, causing lengthy delays for downtown shoppers, residents, workers and merchants"

My math could be a bit off, but if three non-TOL lanes at King & Bay accommodated 1,200 vehicles in the peak morning hour, that averages out at 400 vehicles per lane over a 60-minute sample. Even if half of that hour is burned away waiting for the traffic lights to change, that works out to be a single vehicle in each of three lanes passing through the King/Bay intersection every 4.5 seconds — that's what, 30 km/h in the heart of the 10th largest city in Canada during the second-most congested vehicle-congested hour of the day?
