Getting charged for a free HOV lane trip? That’s what happened to a Denver driver who racked up $168 in tolls, even though his transponder was set to HOV and he had enough passengers. Turns out, technical glitches—sometimes caused by new car windshields—can lead to double billing or missed HOV status. After some back-and-forth, he finally got a full refund, but it makes you wonder: how many others are paying for rides that should be free? If you use Colorado’s HOV lanes, it might be time to double-check your account. Anyone else notice weird charges? #Transportation #Denver #HOV
