It’s not a money grab as much as moving more of the actual cost of freeways onto drivers who are mostly used to externalizing it

people drive slow in HOV lanes. and the. in the lane next to it, people do too. it destroys the natural speed hierarchy of highway driving.

no one respects that hierarchy anymore anyway in my experience. The HOV lane is usually traveling faster that the passing lane.
