Automated Bus Lane Enforcement

- To promote safety, AC Transit will begin issuing automated bus lane enforcement citations along the entirety of the Tempo Line 1T corridor starting Sunday, June 16.
Bus lane violations are not new. The Alameda County Sheriff's Department has reviewed nearly 22000 potential forward-facing camera citations. What is new? Tempo's camera technology has been replaced with more advanced artificial intelligence (AI) software and hardware powered by Bay Area-based Hayden-AI.
Any vehicle illegally parking in the bus only lanes, including taxis, Uber and Lyft, and delivery trucks, will be subject to a $110 fine.
Expansion of automated bus stops and bus line enforcement across our bus lines is scheduled for fall 2024.
I'm glad to see enforcement being done to maximize the benefits of the bus-only lanes.
I will open my trunk door and no plate is visible. That is right, AI will not get me and i will be laughing at the bus driver.
@@001lookerhopefully someone will also laugh at your punctured tires or broken side mirror
@@001lookerrear facing cams next then?
@@fernandopcg Tell that to my dash cameras that are on 24/7
@@001lookerSo you'd turn over dash cam footage that shows you violating traffic laws?
we need this in EU cities so bad
A similar system is available in multiple german cities. The driver just has to press a single button and the video including his voice is recorded and fordwared to dispatch. It is used to document traffic violations but also maintenance issues with station.
@@danielrose1392same here in The Netherlands, we also use cameras that detect if a car has entered a certain area.
Most european cities I know have a system that does a similar thing
Helsinki needs this!
@@danielrose1392That's brilliant for sure! Especially in regards to maintenance needs.
Malaysia needed strict bus lane enforcements too. Tired of waiting buses that are always stuck behind selfish drivers opting to benefit themselves.
Start a small fleet of tow trucks and that bus lane will be clear. It's 100% a tow away zone.
Specialty towing is an expert at towing occupied vehicles!
Bravo!
I'm glad to see an "AI" application whose process and results can be validated, rather than the LLM slop getting shovelled into everything! Go gettem (and make the fine for commercial vehicles 5x higher or they'll treat it as a business expense)
or just make it harder to get a drivers license so you wouldnt get such crap drivers!
@vinncubus4628 Doesn't help. Germany makes getting the license much harder, but people notice really quickly when there is no enforcement. Car-drivers have a car and don't need the bus after all, so they could not care less.
In the UK, less and less people are getting their licence each year. According to a Wise British Man
@@Elliottblancher okay is this an issue or something???
@@notdanni4753 Well its not issue regards to everyone here talking about how people shouldn't deserve to be able to get behind the wheel of a car
well i was going to say we should weld spikes onto the front of busses but i suppose this is better
110$ IS NOT ENOUGH... It should be 300 aleast.
This all looks great but my question (as a european) is - why not a tram? If you are going to have dedicated right of ways and big high capacity vehicles, surely it makes sense to benefit further from the speed, comfort and cheaper running costs of a tram? I understand continuing to use buses if outside of the city centre these buses are used on a wide variety of suburban routes, but even so if there are lines that stick more centrally, you can have dedicated bus and tram lanes?
bus lanes lower cost, easier to adjust or scale, quicker to implement.
US blows too much money on relatively good roads, might as well use em by repurposing them.
@@decand I see, that makes sense I guess. When you are already quite car centric and you don't know how many people might use the new system, I guess bus lanes are a good way to start. And then maybe if its very popular, at that point build a tram?
Of course the USA used to have loads of trams.. they are world famous!
The bus lane can be added where needed and then in less congested areas the bus can run in shared lanes. It’s cheaper for most of the same benefit as building tram tracks which would need to go the whole way.
Building rails and overhead lines plus buying the trans themselves is way more expensive than painting a lane for busses that are already in service to use.
@@Distress. Ah, I assumed these are special buses, and there looks to be quite a lot of infrastructure here - raised platforms, cleared lanes etc.. I'm not sure if laying track and buying some trams HAS to be more expensive, and remember it's significantly cheaper in the long run - trams get less wear and tear, need less maintenance and are larger so require less drivers (whose salaries are often the highest overall cost of a public transport system).
110$ is not enough
not enough, but it certainly can pile on fast!
AGREED!!!
The fact that the song is called "digital corporate technology" is insane and a tiny bit dystopian.
But bus lane enforcement is cool, I hope this model works and can be rolled out elsewhere
When will we get those lasers that instantly evaporate the car.
Karma
I hope you guys get all of the fine money
Wait who was taking the whole "2 hour" line??? Bart is comparably priced and does the route well faster than the bus
NICEEEEE
I honestly find the placement of the bus lane quite inconvenient, never saw that in europe.
Europe is full of them
Europe is full of them as well, really annoying when they are not well thought out and sometimes in the middle, other times on the sides, really annoying.
However of course having parking on the sides and then bus lane makes even less sense
wow
One issue I kinda have with it is that the bus lanes are on the right side of the road. Because of that, people parking have to get into the bus lane, and that might cause a lot of incorrectly issued tickets.
Maybe not park while the bus is driving there?
yay
This doesn't enforce bus lane priority. This just makes people accountable for having already violated the restrictions. I'm trying to say that the camera won't remove the car that's slowing down the bus: it just sends a ticket and a citation. Granted, they'll have to pay for having broken the law, but the damage (the road blockage) was done anyway.
Without consequence people will block the road more often
The three purple bullet points at 1:49 are unreadable because you've placed an "AC Transit Realign Virtual Community Workshop" card over them.
AC TRANSIT AIMS TO EXPAND AUTOMATED CAMERA ENFORCEMENT ACROSS OUR BUS LINES
100 BUSES WILL BE OUTFITTED WITH AI FORWARD-FACING CAMERAS
EXPANSION OF AUTOMATED BUS STOPS AND BUS LANE ENFORCEMENT IS SCHEDULED FOR FALL 2024
Wait what is the problem here? Those are the 3 bullet points right?
@@akirasakuchi The channel has probably removed the end cards on this video, which were covering the text, after the comment was posted

Nope. Moscow is still using the same old system that US busses have had for at least 15 years.
Dystopian as fuck
Utopian you mean?
Selfish aholes are pretty dystopian, yes
Oh the horror, people clearly violating traffic laws get fined for it. This truly is the end times.
Lol, why? Just don't break the rules. Why is this so hard for you?
This is unfair to delivery people. You can't access places like these any other way. I understand ticketing the lazy people, but not those who are there legitimately. This will backfire once people stop taking orders to and from this corridor. They'll opt to not get the $100 fine.
I'm not sure about the law in that place, but my guess would be that stopping in the bus lane is illegal for anyone.
So delivery people wouldn't be there legitimately.
If they have to stop on the road then they should stop on the road. Not on the bus lane.
Too bad
Why don’t they just block the car lane?
Here's an idea. Give loading vans and trucks a dedicated lane to do stuff and a clear amount of time to do it. Bonus points if you can allow them more space at off-peak times of day.
How about you do that on the side streets instead.
Dedicated lane? It’s 2 lanes of traffic. So no lane to drive in? Fun fact, there are loads of pedestrian only street that manage to get deliveries in the US and outside. So… people can manage deliveries without needed a dedicated spot directly in front of their building.
@@SuburbaniteUrbanite From what I understand, Chicago has that. They're called alleys and they're basically just for that kind of activity. It allows for people to park in the back of their building and receive their deliveries there where it doesn't get in the way of traffic. It makes the blocks a bit more of a square than the usual rectangle, and it does add some more places for traffic to get out, but it does solve some problems.
They're called loading zones. Remove a few parking spaces (or cut the curb to make a zone) every few blocks and Bob's your uncle
@@anthonysnyder1152 uhh not true. The delivery vans often times need to drive on these "pedestrian only" streets. Either that or they need to have another road on the other side of the building.
They design a bad city where you can't stop your vehicle to drop something off and then they ticket people who stop as far away from the center of the road as possible.
Good Job!
why do you go into a city center to drop something off?
@@ooRobertoo why does one drive a car in the city if not to transport something? no other good reason unless disabled.
You can stop, just not on the bus lane, it’s not that hard😂
I love that justification.
Same as used by people parking on bicycle lanes.
Because of course cars are more important. You can't ever block a car lane. But bus or bicycle lane? Sure, why not.
worst
I will open my trunk door and no plate will be visible. Good luck giving me a ticket.
It has rear facing cameras too. And it can report vehicles without license plates for a quick police check. Enjoy your ticket!
@@TohaBgood2 by the time it does it, I will be long gone. .
@@001looker Not really. These kinds of alerts tend to be pinged directly to the cops in the area. If there's a cop nearby they can show up to deal with you fairly quickly.
I hate these bus lanes. I get the idea behind them, but if you need to turn right, it can be pretty much impossible at times as bus drivers won't let you in and you just generate traffic by slowing down enough to get behind them. There's a few spots where there's a really short block and you're still supposed to change lanes after the previous intersection.
Adding automatic enforcement is just going to make it worse.
That's a valid criticism, but that has nothing to do with automatic enforcement nor would it make your issue any worse/better. The video highlights vehicles double-parked in the bus lane, not moving vehicles looking to make a right turn.
"Generate traffic by slowing down enough to get behind them" I’m pretty sure that waiting 15secs isn’t gonna kill anyone, its fine
you're madabout buses but otherwise it'd be cars blocking you. so no difference there.
@@asddd. It's not 15 seconds, these rolling traffic jams can persist long after the cause of the traffic is caused, this is why there are variable speed limit sections of freeway around here to reduce the number of times that drivers need to start and stop. .
@@suitknol6604 It's completely different. Without the bus lane, I could judge for myself when to change lanes, I'm not stuck doing it at the last minute, which allows for me to time that based on traffic to reduce the impact I have on traffic. Those bus only lanes are basically just wasted space between buses. It also reduces the risk of crashes that come from drivers stuck making last minute judgments about when to change lanes.
nah to your bus lanes and nah to being on a bus
Nah to being an idiot
good luck paying $110 fines...
Nah to your opinion
But yes to huge fines.
Tough luck for u I guess
Looks like we found a new pay piggie. Oink oink piggie.
If a road has 3 or 4 lanes a bus lane can work but taking a 2 lane road and making it single just for a bus to use every half hour causes more problems than it solves
