Re: Greater service and Capacity in Manhattan

I had envisioned buses with doors on both sides, much like many school buses. If the buses had doors only on the left side, then they would be able to stop only on one-way streets, or on streets with a central median.

Transit buses with doors only on the left side are presently being operated in the U.S. Virgin Islands (not for the purpose of increasing street capacity but because in this part of the United States motorists drive on the left-side of the street). So it is technically feasible to have buses with only left-side doors, but such buses would be of such limited use anywhere but in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
