9:25 pm
been a major change with the bay bridge or car pool lanes. drivers still need that three people to qualify for carpool however if there is no longer free. it is now costing $2.50. in that being said there is a catch so listen carefully. drivers cannot pay cash unless you have the fast track transponder. waving cash out the window at me will not get your toll paid. or getting out of your part to pay cash will also not work. if you just determined you are in the wrong lane and if he backed up, you may get flagged down and given better instruction. this driver and his driver were also caught backing up on the freeway. they're all ticketed. check out this model it cycle ride. he does cut to the of gladiators to get to the carpool lane. only to stop at the pulpits to pay his $2.50 in
