Car Pool Lanes

Friday, May 15th, 2009

The City is thinking about introducing more Car Pool Lanes in Calgary.

In a way that is a great idea specially if it happends like it does on 10 Street and Centre street in rush hour where one lane of the other sides traffic is added to the other side so that the bussy road side gets an extra lane.

But how does this work on a road like Country Hills Boulavard or 16 Ave?

To me these roads are not really up to an special Car Pool Lane.

For me those lanes are not really helping any ways because I can’t car pool as i am having a job that makes me drive all over the city working by myself. I would love to pool but it is just not something that can happen. And I guess there are a lot of us out there that can’t pool because of this reason and to me it almost seems that we get punished for working.

Maybe it would be better if they give Car Poolers a tax credit or something that way you can pool any where and that will clear out the roads a bit.

What do you all think of the Plans?
