I think I may just start driving myself to work everyday in the regular lanes. The HOV lanes in the morning no longer provide a benefit over the regular lanes. The time it takes to drive to the commuter lot and pick up slugs is no longer worth it. There are backups everyday now.

Yes, very upsetting. Sorry to all you Hybrid fans, but it is your fault. If you don't see it, you are not looking. It has been discussed over and over, but fill each of those cars with 3 people and we would all realize the difference. There are just too many self absorbed people in this area. Sad really.

Oh crap, the newbies are mad! (to posting on the site I mean) Tell me about it, I love oh so lu- UV my boss standing in the middle of the office just a waitin for me to show up ten to thirty minutes late each day, then I have the joy of staying late to make up for it, and getting home at SIX a STINKEN CLOCK! We all feel it. DOWN WITH 1 OCCUPANT HYBRIDS!

Actually, this morning was pretty good compared to most, but there are still congestion backups at 123 and Springfield almost every morning. Gotta love that extra capacity!

There has been a high number of fender benders (4 cars on either side of the 14th street bridge yesterday) and broken down vehicles. Oh, yeah, motorcycle wipe outs. So chill out on the roads already -- safety first so there aren't any accidents.

I wish people would stop referring to Northern Virginia's HOV lanes as a nation-wide model. It was, briefly, 5 years ago. I remember in 2002, I could get from 123 to the Pentagon in 15 minutes. Blame hybrids, virtually unregulated housing development, unconcerned politicians, insufficient enforcement. HOV is finished.

Tri2DC,
Must be nice to know you have about 12 months to listen to the music by yourself. In addition think of your increased efficiency when you'll be required to pick up two slugs in order to use hov. Respectfully submitted. |
