That’s often not because they aren’t being used; it’s because bike lanes have 2-3x the capacity of general-purpose lanes. They look a lot less busy even when they’re carrying the same number of vehicles.
Yes, actually. I’m not inclined to dig through my comment history to find it, but a while back, somebody posted an image of a street in the UK and complained that hardly anybody used the bike lane. I counted, and pointed out that in that very image, there were more humans in the bike lane than in the car lane. It just looked empty because cars are such a tremendous waste of space.
