I'm with ya. Minnesota has the same nonsense. They totally screwed up a major freeway here years ago (394) putting in the HOV commuter lanes that only run certain directions depending on the time of day, and while the rest of the freeway is packed the HOV lanes have maybe only a dozen cars on it. Rather than fixing the mess, the genius government here wants to make it a high speed pay lane, where you swipe your card through at the ramp to get on.

NEVERMIND that fact the taxpayers already payed for the construction of the freeway to begin with...

The commuter lane is unrealistic because people simply DO NOT transport that way due to their life/time/daily things to do, etc.

The lightrail here is a joke too. Not that I am against lightrail per say, but the program is not self sufficient...the revenue generated from the rider base will never cover the cost of operating the service.
