Bottom line however is that you improve transit by doing things like buying more buses and building bus lanes. The law won't make a serious difference because the biggest problem is that buses sit in traffic. Most of them do just fine at getting back into traffic - it's not hard to do when you drive a huge vehicle.
I guess that line explains why Keith P. doesn't have a problem with traffic around Bedford. His SUV's large enough to take out those buses.

But seriously does Vancouver also have laws banning cell phone use while driving and requiring cars to slow down to 60km/h and move to the left when passing emergency vehicles? If it does and they actually work Halifax/NS should look out west when figuring out how to effectively enforce laws.
