In the north-central portion, Calgary Transit plans bus-only lanes on Centre Street. That will often mean removing traffic lanes, although the city feels that’s worth it. Centre Street carries 30,000 transit users a day and 20,000 vehicles, senior transit planner Chris Jordan said.

Did not expect that it carried possibly more transit users than cars.
