The paper provides an initial examination of the Shirley Highway experiment and addresses specific aspects of the bus project. In the short time available for the study, experiments, measurements and evaluations were outlined and described in the detail possible. These mainly concern (1) potential reaction of automobile occupants to what will be an apparent sparse use of the reserved lanes by buses only, (2) measures of success and the associated data collection requirements before and during the experiment, (3) improvements in bus utilization during the project, (4) means to reduce car attractiveness which in turn would increase the relative attractiveness of busses, (5) utilization of excess bus lane capacity by car pools and (6) circulation systems.
