Such transit arrangements work because for a small investment and risk, everyone gets something tangible and positive. In our CCP, the driver gets to go through the carpool lane onto the Bay Bridge (not only a much shorter time waiting in line but also free bridge toll) and the riders get a quick and free(!) ride to a central destination."
