The HOV lane on 101 from the South Bay ends just before 92 when traveling north bound. The result is a backup in traffic and congestion at this location at almost all times of the day. This backup is the primary cause of the delay in express bus service that uses the freeway.
Getting the HOV lane completed to San Francisco would entail a large cost because present legislation requires that HOV lanes be implemented with road expansion. Since this area is built out the cost of land acquisition is huge.
Even better would be convert the HOV lane and the fast lane to SF into an HOT lane. There is no loss for Single Occupant Drivers of lane capacity since the option to buy ones way in is still available. To balance out the equity issue the money should be used to provide enhanced express bus service in these lanes now call HOT Busway lanes.
