OCTranspo: Hurdman Station Four Corners at Rush Hour

The City of Ottawa maintains a "bus only" transitway. A major transfer point is the Hurdman Station, located just east of the downtown core. Every bus entering the station must pass through the intersection shown on the video. Just as the rush hour was starting, about four PM, Over 100 buses are shown going through this intersection in less than 10 minutes. That is about one bus every five and half seconds. It is about 10% of the entire city fleet of buses. At the same time pedestrians are trying to cross the road.

wow, and I did the bulk of my OC Transpo video at MacKenzie King bridge, at the intersection of Waller St and the Transitway. I should have done some video on that intersection. Where is the station, relative to your camera position?
