Driving alone? Then pay a toll

San Franciso is taking a leaf from SA Transport's book and is planning to install a High Occupancy Toll (HOT) lane for drivers driving alone, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

HOT lanes will be combined with High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV or carpool) lanes that have enough capacity to handle more vehicles. Toll-paying drivers and toll-free carpools/vanpools share the lane, increasing the number of total vehicles using the HOV/HOT lane.
