Tim~ Bus lanes are also knows as carpool lanes.... do you have those? It's pretty much the same concept.... they have the little Diamond markings in them?
Come on.... I live in a town called GREENACRES and I still have seen carpool lanes *L*

the only dedicated bus lane in Providence is the tunnel.. it goes straight from my apartment, under Brown University, under RI School of Design and comes out near RIPTA Kennedy Plaza.. you're not allowed to hang out in there unless you are tripping on LSD.

We have buses. We have bus stops. But they drive in the same lanes as all the other traffic.
And we don't have carpool lanes here, either. I have seen them, but only in other parts of the country, and only on interstate highways, as I recall.

TSN: Just go to a place where the population is over 1,000,000. Then you will see bus lanes.

*needs to vent* Just today, I was driving on the freeway, coming home from work, going a leisurely 65 mph, along with the rest of traffic. Suddenly, I noticed signs on the side of the road "Left lane must merge" "Road work 2 miles ahead" "Lane ends 1.5 miles, must merge".
The first thing that caught me about this is that in Spokane, there are no signs in the road to warn of traffic activity EVER. So I thought "Wow, how cool! A warning!" Then I noticed that while most of the traffic was trying to merge and slowing down a bit, quite a few of the @$$hole drivers were still speeding by in the left lane. That made me think of this thread and how much I hate stupid drivers.
Not even a minute later, I chould have died. Had I been in my Civic, I would have. An idiot in a Suburban suddenly decided that since he was about ready to run into the traffic cones as the lane ended, he'd better switch lanes. As a result, all of the cars in the lane he swerved into slammed one their brakes. Then cars started to swerve. That made the cars in the OTHER lanes slam on their brakes and start to swerve. I was a good 12 cars back, and I had to slam on my brakes as hard as I could to keep stop. All around me cars were swerving and braking, and the sound of skidding tires was horrendous. I stopped less than a foot from the car in front of me, sure I'd hit him. Praise the lord for 4 wheel anti-lock brakes. My car stops on a dime, otherwise I'd be hurting. Amazingly the car behind me stopped, too, and no one was in a serious accident as a result of all of this, but I was MUCH less than happy.
Yay for not being dead. Boo for stupid, careless people.
Grr.
