"""In order to bus to work, I have to xfer 3 buses and time is about 1 hr, versus 20 minutes if I drive (on highway and most of the time no traffic).""" x2
same here, public transit takes way too long.  biking is not an option, i need to wear suit at work.  i don't think my boss will like i wear a wrinkle suit(which just take out from my backpack) with a sweat small.  it is just not an option for everyone.
compare to other cities in west coast, i think vancouver is doing a pretty good job already.  i think they should at least turn the bike lane back to car lane in the winter time,  only few people are biking in the winter.  and discontinue the bus land.  buses don't like to stay on the bus lane.
