Port Authority Begins to Tackle Lincoln Tunnel Capacity Crunch
This week, Port Authority staff presented the agency’s commissioners with a plan to study ways to get more out of the Lincoln Tunnel’s jammed lanes. The main problem facing tunnel managers is that the Exclusive Bus Lane cannot fit more buses.

It's interesting here b/c at a conference on BRT one of our older staff members complained that "we have maxed out freeways with little to no room for widening. Taking a lane for exclusive bus use would just make the problem worse." Spoken like a true engineer.
If you're goal is to move as many cars as possible then sure you'll have a problem.
