The reserved bus lanes are mostly a failure; they serve primarily to give some persons open parking spots at 9:15 am or 6:15 pm.

Taxicabs are some of the worst offenders: idling, trolling for fares, or stopping for dropoffs and pickups effectively block the bus lane, forcing buses to merge into traffic and effectively removing any speed advantage the lane offered.

105 buses are often so full that they don't stop at all for new passengers. This happens regularly at 7 am and at 9 am; two+ hours of unavailable buses during rush hour.
