Removed this claim. Normal lanes are (normally) wide enough for any vehicle, including a bus. Buses are not the widest vehicles on the road, so bus lanes can be narrow than normal lanes.
I have also removed: "It has to be constructed to the same or even higher standards as usual lanes, as the traffic weight loads tend to be high.". Same argument, lorries are much heavier than buses. Bus stops often need strengthening, but that is independent of whether it is in a bus lane or not. TiffaF 18:11, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
I'm removing the criticism section. It is a great feature of many wikipedia articles, and much needed when people get carried away with the beauty of say, vegetarianism, or the GOP. that said, I don't see anything particularly biased about anything in this article, it's just a definition. Or, if you drivers out there need it, you'll at least have to come up with better reasons than "it reduces the roads capacity," since it obviously increases the road's capacity by encouraging more people to use public transit. Or have I gone over someone's head? Envirocorrector 00:47, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
It could also be said that it is directly theiving from the publics coffers in relation to already paid for roads that were expanded or put in place due to the requirement of such lane / road after consultation, evaluation, and millions of dollars of project planning before also millions of dollars of laying, extending, or resurfacing the roads, only to have it at a later date re-assigned to be a 'bus lane' by some ideological bigot who can't take into account the fact they're causing grievous harm to peak hour flow of traffic.
This is very evident in Sydney, where Moris Iemma and his many ill-thought out 'betterment projects' have come back to bite the average tax payer time and time again. Not to mention bus lanes attract a huge fine if you're caught using them, even if ALL other lanes are gridlocked and there's not a bus in sight. 122.107.42.146 ( talk) 12:59, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
I have pared down this section considerably. I think it's worth including, but I think it's more proper to do so in the context of making clear that the evidence weighs strongly against critics, which are often NIMBYs. StereoFolic ( talk) 03:25, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
Can anyone add India ( Pune specifically) in the list, as I'm afraid I might mess up the tables.. -- Rsrikanth05 ( talk) 17:49, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
I think that this section either should be deleted, or expanded with verifiable information regarding how bus lanes help reduce pollution. Chicagotrains ( talk) 05:33, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
