The Carpool Lane, Traffic, and You.

Great Debates

We don’t have carpool lanes in Chicago, as we haven’t officially entered the 90’s yet. (We entered the 80’s in 1994 with the introduction of curbside recycling and the 70’s in 1987 with the advent of cable TV. So we’re gaining.)

I think they’re a great idea. One point that hasn’t been made yet is that in this country people get to decide where they live, and where they work, at least to some extent. So, if your home & work location prohibits you from carpooling, you can change one or both, if it’s causing you a big problem.

*opus: This is one way the HOV lanes work- they make sure that the only people on I-66 & I-395 during rush hour are either commuters, masochists or the clinically insane. *

All three actually, thank you. :D:D
