Toll highways and carpool lanes basically are what you describe. Yes, people hire strangers to sit in their car to use the carpool lane.

Toll highways are the exception, not the norm.

They are also a little different because they are part of the network - your isp deals with peering with other ISPs, and some ISPs do charge more... That price is reflected in what the consumer and end host pay for service.
