Boston tearing out bus lane because cars park in it
Somebody from Boston make this make sense! 😭
"Amid pushback from people who live and work in the Back Bay...in a letter to Back Bay leaders, Wu said city officials found the lane “has not functioned as intended to justify the space allocation,” citing reports that buses often lack a clear path of travel because of cars parking and driving in the lane in order to access local businesses."
Know what would fix stop-and-go traffic even better? Not driving.
"Boston Is Using AI for Good to Fix Stop-and-Go Traffic...with the help of Google Research's Green Light project, AI-optimized intersections have already seen traffic reduced by 50%."
