While many seee congestion above, in reality, there are nearly no passenger vehicles above. The high number of taxis, express buses and tour buses are trips that will not disapear

Additionally, if you gave the buses in that picture a dedicated lane and made other BRT improvements, bus service would be vastly more attractive, perhaps taking some people out of those cabs. Of course, there are a fixed number of medallions out there, but there’d initially be some reduced demand which might eventually reduce the supply of cabs.
