They should eliminate HOV lanes!!!!! They are a pox on society and energy.
Take 25-33% of the roadway and reserve it for 5% of the cars. Why is there
huge traffic jams still at 9:59am and at 10:01 am they are gone? You just
opened up the total roadway for all the people. How many people car pool
people actually car pool because of HOV lanes? The lady taking her kids to
school qualifies, but she is going to have multiple people in the car
anyway. Is a a feel good thing by people who hate cars and people. Those
same people that want to require a bike lane on the the new San Francisco -
Oakland Bay Bridge. Spend $400 million so a few can ride their bike to
work. Instead of a rack on the bus?


Boy...I thought Californians were 'progressive'!
My wife car pools with co-workers. Makes economic sense and allowed us
to get by with one vehicle for a few more years.

A few years ago we moved a narrow sidewalk to the outside of our older
harbour suspension bridge and erected a bike lane on the other side.
