HOV Lanes: A HOT Topic

[cahwyguy]

Look, I made a funny!

Seriously, for the last two days I've been participating in a very interesting discussion, courtesy of my good electronic road-colleague, Mr. Roadshow (Gary Richards) at the San Jose Mercury News. Gary did two posts on the efficacy of HOV lanes -- one saying how they don't work on Sunday, and one talking about how they are

I would LOVE to ride share. I've looked in a few places. No one is "going my way". And my work schedule isn't regular.

RE HOV lanes: I know it's a different thing, but I would prefer they put a train in instead of widening the freeway and adding lanes. Just put it down the middle like it is on the 105. This way...I could train to work! Right now, it would take me 2.5 hours to get to work and something like 5 transfers (and a bus, I think).

I have my kids in the car most of the time. This means I'm HOV+ by default.
