Yes Bill is against the bus lane, it Zev is for it. LAist is for it, but only because we want the $100 mil to paint the road and fill the potholes - with ground up BMWs.

Wait -- I read the LA Times article a bit differently. I thought the main point was that LA City Council Member Bill Rosendahl's backing this anti-bus-lane thing.... As someone who actually takes the Wilshire buses from Santa Monica to LA, I have to say that these buses are rarely empty -- they're in fact often quite crowded. To decrease gridlock, you gotta support more public transport (i.e. fewer cars on the road). In fact, I called Rosendahl's office today -- 213.473.7011 -- and let him know what I thought. I encourage others concerned about traffic and/or public transport to do the same.

more busses and bus lanes? I see so many empty busses already. why don't we just build a tram? oh wait - that's expensive. let's just bike or walk. oh snap that is no fun without a spacesuit in the smog. okay, okay, I'll hop in the car and sit in traffic. sheesh.
