quote: mikester - I posted this on another thread, but it answers your post. A global crisis exists with dwindling fuel resources and global warming. The VERY BEST plan for the express lanes is to ban private vehicles; next best is to allow HOV hybrids along with public transportation vehicles. The question is which is "better", conventional HOV (which does nothing to help with the major global problems when those vehicles are not being used for commuting) or SOV hybrids (which may be less efficient than some HOV conventional vehicles during commuting only, but are the clear choice when not being used for commuting). Throw into the mix that express lanes are still far faster and more free flowing than the regular lanes during commuting hours. |

Recruit enough passengers so ALL lanes free flow. Only slugs are recruiting slugs. Elected officials squash slugs. Appointed officials poach slugs into VRE and METRO. dickboyd@aol.com |
