It is my personal view that they must be welcomed back.

The more the regular traffic builds up because there are less cars in the HOV lanes, the more people which switch to the new standard. That's not the best way to manage traffic but the best way to have people switch to plug-ins and EV's.

“I suppose a system where know it alls tell me when to go, how to go, and where to stop, and how long to wait, would be an improvement.”

Van I think that’s called stop light sorry bad joke…

Did it ever occur to me? Sounds like a know it all lib lecturing “the masses.”

I can’t tell if that is a joke, sarcasm, or something beyond me. If you read any of my comments you will clearly realize in my view a different reality is being presented from the narrow political points of view. I don’t see things in a tunnel vision way or pretend to think things are always cut and dry. The use of government with industry is complex and always has long-term costs and implications from short-term policies eg. EVS or say hybrids.

Sorry but your response is just political rhetoric. Know-it-all by no means or a 100% liberal, just someone who thinks for themselves. All I ask is for people to take the time to develop their own ideas instead of having someone tell them what to say. My ideas may seem irrelevant or ridiculous to you or most who read this nonsense but they are actual ideas/opinions that are not verbatim from political hacks. Re-read my comments because the world isn’t flat.

Lets see,

1) Did it ever occur to me? Sounds like a know it all lib lecturing "the masses."

2) Does our transportation system, where individuals decide when and where to go, creates congestion? I suppose a system where know it alls tell me when to go, how to go, and where to stop, and how long to wait, would be an improvement. Me thinks thou protest too much. The Bible says freedom is better than slavery. The godless left says slavery for the masses is the way forward. Next stop, the final solution for congestion. Our cattle cars await LOL

3) Car pool lanes were an experiment, but the experiment is over, and it failed. Cars that maintain a safe distance and allow lane changes will accomplish far more toward evening out traffic flow.

4) And yes I am all for low prices of transportation, so EV's powered from clean and cheap electricity are right around the corner. And all this "big oil" scapegoating by the slavery advocates will be consigned to the trash heap of history. Does Build a better mouse trap ring a bell.

Carpool lanes reduce fuel expenses, maintainence requirements because there's less stress on the vehicle. Less stress on the driver and passengers. Reduction in time spent going to and from work. Reducing greenhouse emissions.

I pay taxes for the fire department and I've never used it, so should I have to continue paying taxes for them when I have insurance that will take care of everything in the event of a disaster.

I pay taxes for the school district for kids I don't have. Why should I care if someone elses kids get the money they need for art class?

Just food for thought.

Nanny state, winners and losers, really? Did it ever occur to you that our highway system and energy system supported by Uncle Nanny creates congestion, promotes personal vehicles as the primary mode of transportation, and low prices at the pump? Yes nanny this and nanny that, along side creating winners and losers is the way of life and political reality no matter what politics or political party you believe in. People need to stop believing the political trash they see on TV. Man reality TV may be a bit classier than 24-hour political cable TV. I digress.

Get rid of HOV lanes, really. Instead start planning more light rail along side interstate/expressways.

Yes, there were wrong. I understand where they were coming from – they wanted to encourage people to buy plug-in cars but unfortunately plug-in cars are not available in good numbers yet – there are long waiting lists.

What? You do not want Government folks picking winners and losers, awarding privilege to some but not others? Next you will say no taxation without representation. Every time a person votes for a Democrat, they vote for more nanny government, more regulation, more of this kind of activity.

An advocate for freedom would say, make you case, present your view, and then let the market decide. Everyone paid for those lanes, everyone should be allowed to use them.
