      More like add 2 minutes due to increased congestion and lack of alternatives. All the studies done showed that the bike lanes actually improved travel times in most cases.

        Yeah, true. Turns out that bike lanes can move more people in urban environments, and forcing bikes into car lanes will slow everyone down. WHO WOULDA THUNK

          forcing bikes into car lanes

          Maybe some. But also many former bikes become cars, which is what really adds to congestion.

        But that would require thinking a little more than only about themselves. They are never part of the traffic, they’re special, everyone else are getting in their way.

        AS NJB put it, bike lanes are car infrastructure. People like Doug Ford is just maximising suffering, considering how many of his policies is just to make Toronto worse, it could actually be the real goal.
