Dallas plans to charge for HOV lanes!! WTF HOV lanes in 635 and another highway (believe I-35 by Royal Ln.) are going to be opening up soon and they are going to charge Toll way fees to drive on it. If you have 3 or more people you can get a discount. NTTA is already raping people with there fees! Pay or traffic.

Well I guess I can't get to mad .. I don't use the HOV anyways around Plano because there are no exits for it around the highway exits I need!

Where did you get this information? Also, I wonder how they are going to be able to calculate the exact number of people inside the vehicle so that the discount can be applied?
Anyway... Good thing I don't need to drive on 635, anyway. Just roll off bed, walk upstairs and I'm in my office.

that was my main complaint, they are going up everywhere...I was a little kid when they were built, but I seem to recall the city stating they would remove the tolls once the roads paid for themselves, which they have and other roads...that was big fat lie..

Yep. That is always the promise. My dad had a contract gig working at the HCTRA and said that most of the $$$ from tolls goes into a general fund. This fun can be used by politicians for anything without voter approval. They use very little for actual road repairs as they always claim. I don't know if or how it might be included in the budget though. This is why you will never see them be free.
