The current institutional arrangement is a rather tragic thing as we are not able to fully grasp the possibilities of what could be, only glimpses.
I have a question: the arguments for those carpool lanes are all toward other 'public' objectives like decreasing emissions; you mention the opportunity costs of each driver according to their profession, but has anyone looked into the emissions produced by each profession according to who is biased in the current arrangement? My own intuition tells me there are a whole host of second-order effects beneath the ordinary human eye.
I'm sorry if that confuses you. I have a weird way of writing that I'm still figuring out.
It never made sense to me that when demand is highest a lane is removed from service. Where I lived the HOV lane got very little use even when the others were packed. In an attempt to help my fellow travelers move traffic along I once used the HOV lane though I was by myself. My good deed cost me fifty bucks.
it's govt. what can you expect?
