what was with traffic this morning???

And all those people in the regular lanes have to do is stop and pick up some passengers and they too can be flying home on the wonderful HOV lanes......

Keep on Slugging!!!!

Ah, yes. Keep it coming. Obviously you've not looked out the window lately at the regular lanes. Ever thought (whoops, that's asking too much) why there are so many cars in the regular lanes? Figured out why those taxpayers aren't in HOV? Do you suppose they LIKE being stuck in traffic?

You've not been able to balance the flow by being more strident, or through use of smaller words. On 4/4 at 4pm on 395 south there were no cars for over 1/4 mile in HOV lanes, and the regular lanes were at a creep. Moving hybrids out of HOV won't help the regular lanes - toll becomes the best balancing solution using market forces. Hybrids out = tolls in. Please, please, please - end the hybrid exemption so we can get the toll passed.

For the last time, I am not for HOT, I pay enough on a daily basis you know, mortgage, food, water. I, nor anyone else, should have to pay for the privilage to get to work faster,or in my case,just on time. I'ts just not rite. Isn't it enough that we pay for gas, registration, emmissions, inspection, car loans, insurance, COUNTY TAXES, I'm from NY, there are no county taxes, don't get me started on that BS, but come on people, is HOT really the answer?

Right you are! Bring on the HOT! It's either hybrids or tolls to solve the TOTAL (2 lanes moving, 3 lanes not) congestion problem. Those of us who use the regular lanes on occasion CAN'T WAIT! Keep up the good press!!!

Actually, we should be thankful for hybrids on HOV. The alternative is HOT. Just look at the congestion in the regular lanes! Hybrids over there makes that part far worse, and with HOV humming, a high occupancy tool graduated for number of riders becomes the balancing effort.

So, let's kick out the hybrids so we can lose the ability to ride free!
