You make good points. I too think it is possible. I was perhaps too abrupt I just thought it was very oversimplified to say it was equivalent to running ems and fire vehicles on the rapidway.
The real question though is what are the benefits. If they only want to stop at GRH then unless King was substantially faster (which, with the lights and without priority I doubt it) then what does it buy you. Perhaps the public perception that the transit lanes are in use even now although on the flip side the impression that buses would have been fine. Either way, I don't think it's worth the effort even if I kind of fancy the idea.
