RE: When was the last time you saw them ticket a bus that is driving over 10MPH or passes another bus?
Has a traffic study been conducted recently that considered whether Nicollet Mall - with one driving lane in each direction - is best used as a primary transit corridor for large busses? The high volume of passengers getting on and off the bus, and the lack of a passing lane on Nicollet, seems to be creating both the slow service downtown, and bus / bike complications. As a biker, I bet it is awfully tempting to pass a crawling (likely) or stopped bus (also likely). Is downtown service less efficient as is on Nicollet with large busses and slow rides? Or is there a better way balance the convenience of having public transit on, or very near the mall, with vehicles / other modes of transportation that are better suited for the narrow roadway?
