Makes sense drivers don’t want to pay a $100 fine. Why not interview a few bus riders to see if they wanted the bus to move faster?
Shouldn’t be too hard - there are more than 300,000 daily boardings on Metrobuses.

00:00 - Replying to @NRATV @councilofdc and @DLoeschHi there. Thanks for highlighting. In US cities where the voting age is 16, turnout of registered voters 16+17 has been as high as 48% - much higher than other age groups. They share the same concerns as older voters around gun violence, schools, affordable housing, and more. /1
