For christ's sake, can Wynne focus on the economy and our record debt (twice that of California), instead of wasting her time on something nobody really wants?

I am interested to see how the government plan to police the use of HOV lane, also how do you charge vehicle using the HOV lane? It will cost more money to install cameras to record plate number and send them the toll bills.

I've been wanting them to implement this for a while.
No $ to build? Not a problem, I'm sure a private company will pay the bill and do a rev-share with the government. People thought the 407 was a dumb idea but now it's a cash cow. It was cheap at first to tweak the utilization but now, during rush hour, I think it's very well utilized from Vaughan to Markham (it's pretty packed but people are moving at 80+). It should definitely be cheaper during the off-peak hours as the 407 is empty outside rush hour.
People driving into the core are high paid employees/executives that have company paid parking or are paying $25/day... otherwise they'd take the GO for $12? round trip.
The DVP HOV lane works relatively well (other than the DVP/404/401 interchange) for those that can use it. They should keep it active and enforced to encourage car pooling, plug-in hybrids/electrics, and those willing to pay.
