Not to mention that other vehicles can use the lanes, and there will be cars in and out of the lane to turn etc.
I think the real question isn’t what you asked, but whether shared bus lanes are a substitute for bike infrastructure. Are they better than nothing - sure, a little. Are they a substitute for proper bike infrastructure on a wide arterial like Carling - nope.

Agreed. what purpose does it serve to build rapid transit infrastructure and share it with slower bicycles? and if both prove popular. we will have conflict. Imagine if we would have allowed bicycles on the Transit ways without separate cycle tracks. But it was a sign of the times, when cycle infrastructure was just a painted line along the side of the road. It is time to do things properly.
