Christine made a good point, a subway would be great long term.

adding another bus lane just means that all the cars that travel will have less access to the tunnel. this might make it easier for the buses to go through the tunnel - but getting there will becoming a nightmare with all the backed up cars. saving 20 min in the tunnel isnt worth 2 hours on the highway

BTW, I'm looking forward to the next version, which I hear will have more location shots!

Ao contrario, Roberto, it's a good idea to privilege buses over cars. They use less energy, pollute less, take up less space, and cause less congestion. It's not right to force people to own cars by taking resources away from buses and trains.

Careful, it's not that good idea. Here in Southern of Brazil we have these corridors for bus only that are taking the place of the car vias. Not right to force people to use buses by taking away the streets from the cars. If you have heavy traffic and you have to use bus corridors, at least make sure both cars and buses will have the same amount of congestion, do not privilege one or other.

Spectacular! Thanks for all that amazing research. I'm one of those thousands of commuters. I wish, apart from your double lane idea, the City would go back to the post-911 rule that you had to have three passengers in any car going through the tunnels.

great video! nyc needs more places for those buses to park, too. that is, another bigger port authority bus terminal, or maybe several.

Phenomenal graphics, narration, ever so succinct and easy to absorb - boy, does this ever make it clear what we need to be doing - and what the happy effects would be with more capacity for buses instead of cars. I hope it's been viewed by PANYNJ. Should be viewed by everybody.
