5:02 am
moment as we pull up here, they are going to open up an express lane. basically it's one of those hot lanes that you hear about on 680 sunol grade where they are converting this carpool lane into a toll lane f. you have a fast track transponder if if you are solo you would be able to pay. it would start at 30 cents. probably averaging $3 and right there i don't know if you can see it but there is the sign saying it's going to open in march 2012. and this is from here, 880 southbound on westbound 237, and also in the opposite direction, eastbound 237 to northbound 880, it would shave roughly 10 minutes off your drive. and any one stuck in bay area traffic knows that is an eternity. looking at the westbound highway 92 approach in san mateo. this is another area where one of these express lanes will be opening. if you want to take a look at a map you can get a better sense
