This seems counterproductive to me, basically sacrificing efficiency for 99% of the commuters downtown by appeasing to 1% of the commuters who will benefit. Seems to me city council's plan to persuade people to not drive downtown is to make is as inconvenient as possible.
I know the city wants to persuade people to take Calgary Transit downtown as much as possible, but last time I checked, buses also used the very same roads they're looking to reduce. How is this better for the people who bus it downtown?
