They should actually impose harsh rules on buses such as mandatory seatbelts, no people standing etc. And then use trains, subway, monorails to provide public transportation.

I'm one of hundreds who rely on the route we take and I can't help but think that maybe we too could benefit from a proper BRT solution. On a metropolitan scale it makes sense as well; thousands come in to Toronto by train to go to work, as well. I am a bus commuter who travels outside of Toronto to a city 30 miles away.

The people who made this should make a video in the same style talking about the personal benefits of riding transit. (Not just the overarching environmental and cost benefits) As almost a "transit promotion video" Great pic.

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.

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.

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. Spectacular!
