I completely agree about the King car. I used to commute on that route and it's amazing how slow it can be. In fact, all of the transit in this area moves at a glacial pace. I guess we'll have to wait for the DRL to see a real improvement, but surely there are some things that can be done in the short term. I'd like to see POP boarding on King, and maybe the terminals could be rebuilt to allow ALRVs.
A number of years ago, a play was devised to create a streetcar ROW on King. Unfortunately, it involved reducing the street to one lane that would alternate one ways each block. It was met with enormous community opposition, and rightly so. A more rational plan would be to make it a normal one-way street with two lanes for the streetcar and two lanes for cars. Parking would be permitted off-peak just like today. The same could potentially be done for Queen, creating a one-way pair. Otherwise, it could be paired with Wellington.
