Ahahaha, now you're stuck with the rest of us in traffic, except that you paid a premium to drive a no-frills eco-car.

Think this is an eye opener?

Wait until the batteries are out of warranty and need replacing!
There will be tons of hybrids and electrics for sale, dirt cheap.

We’ll see a lot of ads like this:

“Runs good, may need new batteries. must sell - MAKE OFFER.”

Just switch to the white carpool lane sticker. Buy a Tesla EV or a Toyota RAV4 EV or a Honda Civic NGV (natural gas) and you can still use the carpool lane until Jan 1, 2015.

Motorcycles also can use the lanes.

Or you can always try MY WAY: Have a lot of kids and take at least one with you wherever you go. (Hint: they won’t all fit in your Prius.)

To the extent that HOV lanes had any reason for existing, it was to reduce congestion. If they were intended to reduce CO2 emissions; then the sensible thing would be to allow large SUVs to use them. The hybrids can sit in traffic, without idling their engines; therefore, they should be made to use the most congested lanes. Just speaking logically -- not that that counts for anything these days.

"I get sad looking at the other lanes now," Yonemoto said.

Your sadness does not support the collective good, Yonemoto. Report to the attitude adjustment center for examination, immediately. Termination of your faulty egoic selfishness might be necessary by replacement with a more compliant unit. Also bring a list of your selfishly hoarded "personal" possessions for reassignment to the collective need. That is all.

Considering that this is California, am surprised they don’t allow them to continue but pay an outrageous fee each month - like $200 or $300.

I was surprised to read in Westways that a Pious’ battery can power the car for no more for a few hundred yards. Sooo, a Pious is not a real alternative vehicle to anybody but a liberal.

Something kind of cruel about putting out an incentive to buy a $40K car, then removing the incentive.

"I get sad looking at the other lanes now," Yonemoto said. To avoid sitting in rush-hour traffic, he said he'll start waiting until 7 p.m. to leave campus.

Sheesh, Bruce...just carpool to work with a co-worker

Shouldn't it be the other way around? The hybrids can idle in traffic for hours without wasting our precious gasoline. Build HOV lanes for the gas vehicles, since they get lower mpg, and save millions of gallons of gasoline.
