21. The point, of course, is that it's foolish to have a mostly-empty HOV lane sitting idle.

Any traffic that leaves the general lanes for the HOV
lane improves the situation in the general lanes. And
as long as the load in the HOV lane is throttled (by
pricing) to a manageable level, the HOV lane keeps
moving too.

On the other hand, in modern day America, I can see
how the bottom-feeders will distort this Utopian
concept: "Hello, I'd like to buy 200 options on
HOV futures... Yes, for M-F at 07:30 and 17:30 for
the next fifty weeks..."
