Hello HOT Lanes!

I haven’t spoken to one person who isn’t fed up with these stupid HOV (High-Occupancy Vehicle) lanes. Our twenty minute drives have now turned into an hour or more just because we don’t have a minimum of three passengers to drive in the fast lane.

Half the time, these HOV lanes are empty because everyone is stuck in the other two or three lanes driving bumper to bumper. 

Then there’s the fear of disobeying the HOV lane rules because of the $85 or $110 fines that have been put into place.

I was really really really hoping that things would go back to the way they were after the Parapan Am games. 

Well that was wishful thinking. 

HOV lanes will soon become High-Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes. It’s been said that only the Gardiner Expressway and the Don Valley Parkway will have them. 

Motorists that don’t have enough passengers will have to pay a toll to drive in these lanes. 

First they charge us to drive on the 407 ETR and now this!

Don’t you just love how our  Government is always finding new ways to suck more money out of us?

What are your thoughts on the Government charging us to drive on the future HOT lanes?
