I think carpool lanes are for public transportation. We just don’t have have volume to justify a whole lane so we let in other yahoos. It makes a huge diffidence in Seattle knowing the bus takes an hour and driving by myself would take an hour and a half. However, if I paid 15$ in tolls I could get there in 30 minutes.

Where in Seattle is that true? I used to take the bus all the time before I got a car, but now it's hard to justify since the bus is usually 1.5-2x longer than by car...
For example from my apartment to Pike Place Market, Google Maps currently estimates 20 minutes by car and 37 minutes (if you don't miss any transfers!) by bus.
