The message of the paint should be that this is a bus lane and nobody else is <b>ever</b> allowed in it. If you get things like, well, postal trucks are allowed from 1:30 to 3PM on Tuesdays, and anyone can drive in it from midnight to 3AM, people start to think of it as a lane for "buses and important people," and you know where they fit.

having hours for bus lanes and carpools just complicates things. just make it 24/7.
