No it really isn't a net good to society and is only a good to the parent - the point is to move people through a corridor more efficiently who need to get through the corridor.  People going to work in cars with multiple people we want to move through the corridor as efficiently as possible to reward them for being more efficient.  [b]We don't want to [/b]give scarce space in the HOV lanes to people whose kids are electively enrolled in downtown daycare.  [b]We don't want to [/b]give the space to people who could travel at another time of day - [b]we want[/b] incentives to reward the people who most need to be on the road at a particular time who are making smart choices.  I fail to see why parents who elect to enroll their kids in school far from home should benefit from this system.[/quote]

How do you think you can speak for everyone?  There are people on this thread who want different things than you do.  Sounds to me like you need to run for office![/quote]

OK fair point.

How about "HOV lanes are designed to move the most people possible through a corridor during peak demand times" instead?

But seriously HOV lanes are pretty commonly used now in congested areas, all of which in the US are in places with elected officials.  And I don't think there is really much argument about what the intent of HOV lanes are though there may be some debate around the edges on an issue like this.[/quote]

Perhaps you should run for office - your response to the ol' "what makes you think you can speak for everyone" dribble was very graceful. [/quote]
