I'm a construction worker since 2011 working almost all my projects in Seattle and Bellevue. These decisions have always been at my sacrifice as I cannot take the bus to work.

Downs Thompson paradox: The equilibrium speed on a road network is determined by the average door to 🚪 travel time of public transit or the next best alternative.

In other words, you may be unable to take the 🚌, but other people taking the 🚌 reduces traffic congestion, which speeds you up, meaning you'll be faster with the bus lane than without. (After a transitory period, mind you)
