Philadelphia To Create 'Bus Only' Lanes To Combat Traffic Congestion In Center City

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - Philadelphia is trying something new to combat the congestion in Center City. Starting Monday, the city will begin creating some "bus-only" lanes for SEPTA buses.

You'll see them on Market Street between 15th and 20th Streets, as well as JFK Boulevard between 15th and 19th Streets.

The far-right lane on each street will be changed to bus-only.

The city will study the new lanes for a year and a half to see if they should be expanded across Center City.
