Just add more lanes to 66, that'll fix traffic.

Not true, there was a hybrid exemption and motorcycles are exempt from HOV.

Hybrid exemption was phased out, and when it was in effect, hybrid cars carried a significant price premium. The motorcycle exemption is not useful for the vast majority of commuters.

4. Or you could drive to one of the outer Metro stations and train it from there.
5. What you’re really pissed about is that you’re no longer able to cheat and use 66 as a single driver without paying a penalty.


No, what I'm pissed about is how Classist HOT Lanes are. You'd understand that too if you weren't so busy being snarky.

Blame Arlington. They successfully opposed widening I-66 for decades.

You’re several years late with this complaint.

Taking the Metro from DC to Centerville during rush hour would probably cost $6 each way. Talk about punishing the poorest.

Has the number of toll free lanes decreased? If not, how is it punishing the poorest?

I like how the solution by VDOT is to punish those poorest with the creation of these Lexus Lanes. No, you coulnd't expand Metro down to Centreville but you'll gladdly spend a billion on adding toll lanes to an already congested highway.
