Carpool lanes are two people in the Bay Area. Did you mean you had zero rather than one companions, or were you unaware of the law?

If you have an electric car and get a permit you can drive in the carpool lane alone: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/carpool/carpool.htm

Huge swaths of 80 and 880 are three-person HOV lanes. Take a look at the interactive map here: http://rideshare.511.org/

Well, I'd quibble about 'huge swaths', but I was in the wrong, so my mistake. I guess this is what I get for going to Oakland once per year.

Yeah, it's specifically the Bay Bridge; since they did work last weekend, it seems to have become a parking lot all morning. Not sure why. It's HOV-3.
