I drive W 6th and 7th Ave. every day, and have for many years. I am familiar with how long it used to take to traverse those streets and how long it takes now. I conservatively estimate I will spend at least 25 hours per year more on those streets now than I did prior to the EMX installation. Multiply that by the thousands of drivers who use those streets each day and the wasted hours are vast. Additionally, my car uses more fuel since it is running that much longer. Even if each EMX were used to capacity by people who would otherwise drive, the extra fuel used by everyone else who still must drive would dwarf any fuel savings attributable to EMX. The fender benders caused by the disappearing left lanes on 6th and serpentine lanes on 7th add to the external costs of this EMX boondoggle. And I am sure the extra walking distance between EMX stops thrills its senior citizen and disabled users. What a waste of $100 million to build it, plus the additional costs to everyone else.
