Carpooling--How many of us Carpool to and from work?

Tweet

With the busy commute to and from home somedays, also living in the out skirts of Washington DC. I carpool with someone every now and then. We alternate weeks, therefore saving on gas, wear and tear on your vehicle, also get to relax on the weeks you don't have to drive. Here we have what they call HOV Lanes(High Occupancy Vehicle)HOV-2 or HOV-3, where the number of people have to be in the vehicle to travel these lanes, all motorcycles, and Hybrid cars purchased prior to July 2006 can use these lanes. It saves so much time. However, the big debate now is for instance, someone has his/her infant or toddler in the car and they uses the HOV lanes. Some people feel that the passenger(s) should be of age and not a infants or toddlers. What do you think? Also, we have what they call Slug Lines-People look for other drivers who need to ride to where they are going so they are able to get on the HOV lanes. We have alot of commuter lots around my area. Here is the website to give you a idea of a slug line http://www.slug-lines.com/ Do you carpool or have a method of getting back and forth to work other than public transportion? Do you have HOV lanes in your area or Slug Lines (even someting similar)
