So I got carried away on Google Maps again.

Make it an HOV/bus lane and then run an express bus on it. I give you the L-line.

Of course, there are several problems with this, like the fact that every onramp would need to have an added bus-stop (sidewalk and possible widening) and the ability to go straight-through from the offramp back into the onramp... maybe traffic signal control too? Plus there are safety questions about running a bus on an expressway. Plus with the typical HOV design the HOV lane is on the far side from the ramps (and putting an HOV on the right side sounds insanely dangerous). Plus the city already has a planned L-line out to Waterdown, but how can you have a bus on the Linc and not call it the L-line?

But it can hit the Ancaster Business Centre, the Meadowlands, Lime Ridge Mall, Carmen's, the Queenston Traffic Circle (the terminus of the B-line), Eastgate Square, and the new Confederation GO station.
