No.

they should have built it that way, but not now. Look at all the other protected bus lanes in the area that are just ignored. Without enforcement, they're just a waste.

No, not if it would mean eliminating a lane for POV's.

Simply wouldn't be feasible. Would cause traffic jams on both ends that would hold up everyone, buses included. Realistically there should have been a third tunnel sank for a bidirectional busway when the big dig was done, serious missed opportunity.

There are also "temporary" bus lanes that they painted down during the orange line shutdown that are entirely unused now but still painted there.

How am I supposed to be able to tell which ones are real and which are fake.

It already has a dedicated lane under the harbor, called the Blue Line.

Drivers who know it won’t be enforced would love to have a lane to themselves.

They shut off TWT traffic coming from Logan last night due to complete gridlock. Second time in a week I had to take a detour through Revere to go south! What a cluster.

Yeah the fact that the city didn't undo the painting for the temporary ones just makes people less likely to follow current/future ones. What a joke.

If transit riders account for at least half of the total bodies using the tunnel, they should get half the real estate.

No because of gridlock, a car sitting idle releases way more pollution than moving.. You want a cleaner /greener city? Keep cars moving..

Building the Red-Blue connector would get rid of a lot of the transit traffic in the tunnel.

I really don't think there's as much of a correlation there as you think.

This is the most uninformed take I’ve ever seen.

If we want a cleaner/greener city, we should be incentivizing taking transit, not taking personal cars for every journey. Dallas is pretty good at keeping cars moving. If that’s your idea of a cleaner/greener city, I want no part of it.
