New HOV lanes open to Hamilton/Stoney Creek commuters.

The new HOV lanes are finally open to commuters from Hamilton/Stoney Creek. With many residents going out of town to work and putting up with standstill traffic on a daily basis, this should bring some relief to the concerns of greenhouse gas emissions by encouraging more people to car pool which would get rid of unnecessary traffic. I've driven in rush hour traffic to Toronto and back many times and it feels like majority of the cars on the road are single occupants.
Sitting in bumper to bumper traffic may trigger some commuters who make the daily trip to start looking for a car pool buddy. If it saves you an hour on the way to work and an hour on the way home. That's 2 hours that can be spent on important things like family and relaxing.
 The project is getting mixed results. I think its safe to say for the people who will continue to drive alone are going to say that the extra lane should of been open to everyone. The ones who organize a car pool and get to work and home an hour earlier will think its a great idea. Time will tell if the HOV lanes cut back on traffic and greenhouse gas emissions.

Feel free to share if you agree or disagree with this car pool method.
