It kind of amazed my friends from Ontario when a whole line of people waiting at the ferry terminal made it onto a double decker bus (close to 100), which would have been 50 passenger cars!

Why haven't we explored frequent oribtal GO routes numbered 401, 427, QEW, DVP, with dedicated bus lanes to weave through traffic with ease (BC highway 99 is set up decently well with them)? Sneaky drivers could jump the queue with the priority lane in typical Toronto fashion, but bus drivers with cameras can charge every license plate they catch that's improperly in the lane. Make it a hefty fine or revoke their license on repeat offenses.
