Bus rapid transit uses dedicated lanes for the busses, which is what they're banning. State senator Aaron Freeman is the one behind it and he's a complete moron.

They're also not banning it statewide. The law applies to all cities with a consolidated city-county government... Which is decided by state law... Which has been changed over the years so it only applies to Indianapolis.

Oh, they also announced a "compromise" with the city a few weeks ago! In exchange for changing nothing, they also agreed to prevent the city from banning rights on red downtown!

Sure, the pedestrian fatality rate is through the roof and prohibiting rights on red would do a lot to bring it down, but can you imagine how horrible it is to make a driver wait an extra three seconds at a stoplight?!

This has been a friendly message from the same party that also decided back in 1985 that the city would no longer build any new sidewalks or street lights.

And the same party that banned light rail in Indianapolis, only agreeing to overturn it if Amazon moved their headquarters here.

And the same party that signed into law RFRA.

And the same party that's trying to both ban gay marriage and refuse transgender recognition.

And the same party that consolidated the city-county government because they were afraid of blacks getting uppity.
