It’s almost like for some reason, there’s mysteriously no fast public transit which easily could connect the north bay with the peninsula or the east bay and that’s why the traffic sucks ass.

Yes, so the proposal is to replace the unused bike lane with a bus lane.

Not according to the actual proposal and ABC7’s summary.

It’s to become a breakdown lane and a lane for emergency vehicles. There’s going to be a shuttle service which is likely going to be operating in the same lane as everyone else. Basically, no one really gets to use the lane during rush hour.
