Yeah, LA did these stupid PACE lanes which basically meant you couldn't carpool the 110 or the 10E without paying the state $5 a month and owning a $40 pass. Everyone hates it, a private company makes the lions' share of profits and the road is totally empty for motorcyclists. Seattle did the same damn thing except since you can get in and out of the carpool lane whenever you want I-405 is like "sometimes carpool, sometimes not, sometimes free, sometimes $18 to drive two miles, who the fuck knows, take a risk and see if we send you a ticket." So they sacked the bitch. And you can call that partisan warfare but FFS between the bullshit 405 lanes and the bullshit tunnel somebody should be shot, not fired.
