Whatever the virtues of bus lanes, and there are many, this one is a trap — a lucrative one. One police officer, giving a summons at that spot recently, conceded that traffic would be backed up to 14th Street if some drivers did not make their way into that Broadway bus lane.

1) Any sentence starting with “Whatever the…” is a stupid, cowardly sentence.

2) Fines and tickets are not traps. They are used to discourage bad behavior.

3) Half of the point is to back up CAR traffic to 14th street. That way people will change their behavior and take the faster BUS.
