VTA 522 Rapid bus tour - February 16, 2015

A round-trip bus tour group founder Eugene Bradley took on February 16, 2015 (Presidents' Day) aboard the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority's 522 Rapid bus line. The round trip was taken between Santa Clara and Palo Alto, The video's purpose is to identify current challenges the 522 Rapid encounters in navigating automobile traffic, The video also propose solutions like having a dedicated bus lane for the 522 Rapid to speed up and make safer for bus passengers along El Camino Real.

As a bicyclist, the dedicated bus lanes can also include buffered lanes allowing bicyclists to safely travel along El Camino Real. As you watch this video, consider this concept as part of a dedicated bus lanes proposal.

Two references Mr. Bradley makes in the video - one defines what a mixed flow traffic lane is. As this stretch of El Camino Real is known as California State Highway 82, it falls under jurisdiction of the State of California via Caltrans - the California Dept. of Transportation.

Also, Mr. Bradley mentions how some shopping centers along El
Camino Real have free parking which diminished transit ridership.
This concept is mentioned in The High Cost of Free Parking by Donald Shoup, available at your local library or bookstore.
