Carpool Restriction is an INSANE idea.

This is going to prove to be a disaster. Cars have to have two or more passengers to pass over almost all bridges and tunnels to get into NYC?

What are they nuts?

This can't stay for long................ people will flip out.


Thank GOD I've still got the Jitney - (well we'll see how that goes on Friday).

NEW YORK (AP) - Mayor Rudolph Giuliani (news - web sites) detailed dramatic new traffic restrictions Wednesday, saying they had been suggested before the World Trade Center attack but would be added now because of security concerns.

Single-occupant passenger vehicles will be barred in Manhattan below 62nd Street between 6 a.m. and noon, the mayor said.

The ban includes some of the busiest commuter pathways in the country, including the Lincoln Tunnel to New Jersey and four East River bridges linking between midtown Manhattan and the financial district to Queens, Brooklyn and Long Island. Two other tunnels near the disaster site, the Holland and Battery, remained closed Wednesday.

It wasn't immediately clear how the ban would be enforced, though police said there would be checkpoints at entrances to the island of Manhattan. It was also unclear whether offenders would be fined, ticketed or simply turned away.

You are just going to have to start picking up
hitch hikers to get into the city.

You can always throw them out after you cross the bridge.

Well, I told the bosses I needed an assitant - at the very least a warm body to sit in my passenger seat.

heh.

Hmmmmmmmm

A studio appartment would probably be cheaper than an additional employee.

This should make you laugh.

In Pennsylvania a woman was pulled over for driving in the HOV lane [High Occupancy Vehicle] and when the cop informed her that you needed to have three or more people in the car to be in that lane she informed him that she was pregnant with twins.

Another person trying to use the HOV lane put inflated dummies in the seats and strapped them in as passengers.

Go figure....

Velvett,

The idea is good but misguided. A better solution would be no passenger cars at all.

In ancient Rome, chariots had to be left at the gate. May we learn from history!

This guy i used to work with use to have a job as a transporter of dead bodies for funeral homes. He once had to pick up a body in Maryland and on the way back he got pulled over for being in the HOV lane.
When the cop told him why he was pulled over he pointed to the dead body in the back of the van. He said you shouldve seen the look on the cops face of disgust. He told him to get the hell out of here...haha
