Once again, NOSUV proves his grip on reality is questionable. Ending HOV3 will not force riders onto mass transit.

quote: You assume that hybrids are "ECO friendly." I'm confused; I thought hybrids ran on gasoline powered engines and mercury-filled batteries that store power generated by their gasoline engines. Hmmmm, that doesn't sound very "ECO friendly." I might agree with an "ECO friendly" exemption that included cars that use renewable and/or non-polluting fuels. Now that woud be real progress; laws that promote positive changes instead of special interests. HOT laws (and any law, for that matter) should do the greatest good for that majority. Any law that favors special interests over the best interests of the populace is flawed! Politicians have ethical responsibilities to do what is best for the many. Hybrid exemptions and HOT lane restrictions take rights and priviledges away from the general population. This is wrong! Just because it suits you, does not mean that it is in the best interest of the majority. |

quote: Jody, My response, which was deleted 3x, detailed that you are mistaken. History has proven WITH THESE LANES that without HOV-3, mass transit use increased. Check out the history of Shirley Highway and how the express lanes were originally mass transit only, and how over 8K cars per day were removed from the regular lanes back in the early 70's. |

NoSuv - I did check out the history of the HOV lanes and I'm not mistaken. Based on the type of car you drive, your advocating the removal of HOV3 is not only transparent to me, but to all of the other people on this message board.

Jody - so, you agree with me! It has been proven that the history of the I95/I395 EXPRESS (not HOV) Lanes demonstrated that, without a carpool incentive, people were willing to use mass transit instead of driving. Whew!

NoSUV,
Until you're using mass transit instead of driving solo, I suggest you stop posting this crap. These people are doing much more than you to alleviate traffic. Well, compared to nothing, it's much more than much more. |

MDC - At times, I do use mass transit. Do you?
And, it's not crap - it's history. I guess you feel sorry you can't rewrite it, though. Get over it. ---- And STILL waiting for scottt to put up or shut up |

Wow! More censorship!!! My post to MDC disappeared...
MDC: have you confused "ride share" with mass transit? You questioned my use of mass transit on 5/14, and then you tried to deflect the issue. As I posted in the Censorship topic, if you don't like facts, try to befuddle the issue. |

You are the one filled with FUD in this discussion. I said that I'm doing something to reduce congestion on a daily basis, then you reply that you ride the mass transit once in a while. Somehow that's proof that you're doing more than I? Your last post to me was just assinine, which is probably why it was deleted.
