I believe I have seen them in countries in Europe, but I can't gaurantee it so I won't mention any there. However, when I lived in Singapore in Southeast Asia, an entire section of the city (actually all of the commercial sector of the city) was HOV-4. You had to have a permit to drive there during certain hours (I think 8AM-4PM, most of the day anyway) with 4 people in the car. This permit was quite expensive. It was enforced, and fines were quite stiff. On the other hand, the bus system was excellent, and the country isn't big enough to make for long bus trips between any two points. -- **************************************************************** ** Gene Gotimer gotimer@oasys.dt.navy.mil ** ****************************************************************
