Sure, because nobody is willing to start *thinking* and stop using the
old one car/one person -strategy. Is it *so* difficult or *so severe* a
loss of personal freedom to carpool?

I think, in beside the installation of HOV-lanes (which are standard in
many countries) it might be a good idea to rise the proce for gasoline to $5 to $7 per gallon (as it is in many European countries). 

If people don't react to logical (environmental) arguments, make them
pay for the damage they cause by excessive use of combustion engines.
