when it's a family that fills a car, or suv, then only one vehicle of the family is in use, and this doesn't constitute carpooling.
Seems like someone pulled a fast one, used taxpayer funds to make lanes that can only be used (huge fine with that carpooling lane ticket here in California) by people that find it's more convenient than using the crowded lanes to take their kids to after school sports.
I'm against using taxpayer funds to make things that taxpayers can't use, that are limited to some special category that the majority of taxpayers are not entitled to.
HOV lanes. I guess "high" is relative. as you only need two.

Who Can Use HOV Lanes?
Motorcycles, mass transit, and vehicles with two or more (2+) occupants are allowed to access the HOV lanes during their operational hours. An "occupant" is defined as any person who occupies a safety restraint device, i.e., seat belt.
Yeah, I forgot about that aspect of the motorcycle riders, and electric cars. Neither require passengers. So, it's bullshit.
Deletewasting taxpayer funds on virtue signaling that did not, and could not result in getting cars off the roads and easing congestion, BUT WIDENING THE EFFING INTERSTATES WOULD HELP! Same amount of budget and concrete. Everyone could benefit.
