I think its more of a: do you want people to take the bus?
Show that the bus is faster.
If there are 50+ people on a bus waiting for a light... imagine that being 50 cars.
Even if the time difference is negligible for bus users, I think having the bus being prioritized over other traffic, will illustrate that Ottawa is serious about gaining transit users back.
