So far TransLink has used HOV on Hwy 1 - and this is preferred vs the dedicated side bus shoulders on the George Massey (which are slower than HOV in normal traffic).
This was also the plan on the Liberals' George Massey Bridge.
As long as the cars aren't severely limiting bus speed, it should be fine.
HOV restrictions can be increased if this is the case.
Cassiar is already 3 lanes each direction because one is needed for the McGill exit.
