Its in Ottawa too, <a href="http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/pubs/shp2007/hov.html"not much better</a>.
What I don't understand is why motorcycles can't <i>always</i> ride in that lane. With few exceptions they use less gas than most compacts and the rule of 'riding with two' is like a car having four.
I've seen many cars in the HOV lanes in Ottawa occupied by a single driver. Eventually they will invest in the new infrared technology that automatically detects the number of occupants in the vehicle.
The limitation of two (and not more) per vehicle in an HOV comes down to how easy it is to detect other occupants, either by eye or mechanically. It's relatively easy to see a second occupant in a front or rear seat, but any more than that and the view of other occupants is obstructed.

No word of a lie, it happened on the Wilson Avenue HOV lanes just a couple o' years ago...
