Of course it is no fun being stuck in the GP lane when the HOV lane is doing its thing. Solution: find a carpool partner and join the fun. Go to www.carpoolmatchNW.org to find another rider.
HOV lanes carry 1.5 times the number of people of GP lanes, help make transit more reliable and are a key incentive for commuters to join carpools and vanpools.
We have a ton of excess capacity across the I-5 bridges in the peak hours...its in the passenger seats and back seats of all those SOVs.
HOV lanes should be added southound as well, and all should be for Freight Only in the non-peak hours. This would save us a cool $4.5 Billion.
