'They're making you pay for the right to bill you:' KIRO hosts upset over toll changes for SR 167 HOT lane

The HOT lane from Auburn to Renton is becoming an express toll lane, just like the existing toll lanes on I-405 between Bellevue and Lynnwood. Up until now, only solo drivers needed a pass to pay their way into the HOT lane. Carpoolers didn’t need a pass. It was the honor system. Now they do, or they will be tolled.
