I think it’s extra-evil to stipulate that it would be completely reliable, and to then try to apply it to any real-world recommendation. That removes the single most important aspect of the question.
How reliable would it need to be for you to find it acceptable? If 95% of the time the bus comes up behind you while you are in the bus lane you get a ticket, and 1:10k of these tickets were issued erroneously, would that be evil?
What if the bus was designed to flash a bright light and play a noise when it issued a ticket, to make the feedback loop very clear?
Hmm. Thanks for pushing on this—I’m not exactly sure what would make it work for me, and I don’t know what city government I’d trust enough to encourage exploration in this direction.
I would absolutely support better protected right of way, with barriers or the like. I’m not sure where the line is for me to want more cost-effective enforcement over more mechanical rules.
