a bus in mixed traffic can't go any faster than the cars it's sharing the road with--throw in all the stops (sometimes as close together as 1/10 mile), each of which requires waiting for passengers to pay AND waiting to get back into traffic, and you end up w terrible speeds

If you want to close the car/transit gap, just do what Lexington/UK do. Have multiple stops along the busiest road IN the lane.

Bonus points if some of these stops happen to be in areas where lanes vary by time of day, and the bus blocks the only available lane during rush hour.

I'm not opposed to stops in-lane but they should be on less-used roads, not main arteries

...why does your primary artery go down to one lane during rush hour?

Opposite direction. For example, right now I wouldn't try to go downtown on that route

What normally takes 15 minutes with traffic instead takes 30+

I've never been a fan of reversing lanes (except in bridges and other limited-access situations...maybe)

It's clearly demarcated, only used twice, and would work with volume very well if not for the worst planned bus system in the world.
