From the above article:

Quote:Presently, it takes about 19 minutes on average to travel along Hwy. 403 between Hwy. 401 and Hwy. 407. Takhar said carpoolers now will save up to 11 minutes, but adds there are other reasons to share cars, such as cutting fuel and maintenance costs in half.

It would stand to reason that they expect it to move faster. But how much? Well, I'm doubting that if cops are looking for HOV offenders that anyone will get a bye on the speed limit as well.....
