In the situations I have seen downtown with riders outside the tracks, they are either couriers, or people who end up turning half a block or a block down the road on the opposite side of the track. If they stay in the track ,at some point they would have to cross a few lanes so it is safer and easier if they exit the track earlier, or in some cases don't use it. I can't say I've ever seen someone travel several blocks outside the track without reason.
