Hello,
Came across this! Around the D.C. area, they've got those High Occupancy Vehicle lanes, and the citizens have really put them to use! In short, drivers need passengers in order to get into the HOV lanes, and passengers like cheaper and quicker alternatives to the bus! There is a whole list of rules and etiquette, and the whole thing seems like a great idea with a weird name! Check out the link for more information. Do you think that this would be a workable solution in Calgary? I'm a little wary only because none of Calgary's major roads actually go downtown or to transportation hubs. HOV lanes would have to be added to roads like Bow Trail, Memorial Drive, McLeod Trail & 14 street, and even then, these roads don't particularly lead anywhere useful train or bus-wise.
