29 Conclusions from Miami and Minneapolis Buses benefit from managed lanes with faster speeds and shorter travel times Managed lanes + improved bus service = higher ridership Managed lanes + improved bus service = improved highway LOS (Miami) A large percentage of the bus riders are choice riders with ready access to their own vehicle Overall perception of managed lanes by bus riders is very positive
