"White Female Mamdani"?

Seattle mayor Katie Wilson added a BUS LANE.

So you're saying a bus, which on average can support a much larger volume of people than cars can, are running consistently on time, and the lanes are also providing routes that allow emergency responders (not just cops, remember that ambulances can use these lanes too) to get to where they're going without having to wait in traffic as someone dies?

Not to mention that if the dedicated bus lanes didn't exist, bus service could be slow/inconsistent enough that all the people riding the bus would just switch back to cars, and now you've got way more cars on the road clogging it up again.

Why would you think this is a problem?
