I stole this idea from a local drive time radio announcer who used the phrase "magic bus" to denigrate Connecticut's idea to make limited access bus only roads (not just lanes but entirely newly built bus only roads, many built on abandened railroad corridors) to encourage commuters to use this form of public transportation, especially in the Greater Hartford area.
Turned out to be a great idea. Many new successful apartment buildings and retail, commercial, and manufacturing complexes were built along these "magic bus" roadways.
By the way, the local drive time radio announcer, a former corrupt high state level politician, ended up in prison, again.
