Get Rid of Car Lanes on Busy City Roads

I think we should convert at least one car lane on every major city road to a dedicated bike and bus lane, it's the only way we'll ever reduce congestion and pollution. This is desperately needed because our city is choking on traffic, and it's not just frustrating for drivers, it's also making our air toxic and our commutes longer. I see it every day on my way to school, the roads are clogged and the buses are stuck in the same traffic as everyone else, so they're not even a viable option for most people.

We need to give people a real alternative to driving, and that means making public transport and cycling more appealing, which in turn means making them faster and safer. By taking away a lane from cars, we can make room for a proper bike lane, with a barrier to protect cyclists from traffic, and a dedicated bus lane that can actually move at a decent pace.
