Default What are bus lanes worth?

Does TfL (or anyone else) try to estimate the value of bus lanes before
installing them? If so, what criteria do they use?

I don't know what TfL did, but usually the criteria is passenger
throughput--passengers per mile per hour. Even carpool lanes can, in
certain situations, get much better throughput than an ordinary lane, even
though they might look "empty" to others.
