Cheap Thoughts: Oversold Roadways

Wouldn’t it be great if the next time you were stuck in a highway traffic jam, the highway patrol came out and announced:

“We’re sorry, ladies and gentlemen. We’re overbooked: we just have too many travelers on our road today. We’re now looking for volunteers to give up their space and travel first thing in the morning. You’ll get a $200 trip voucher and a complimentary stay in a local hotel.”

Yeah, that’d be great.

  1. Hmmm, when you see them sitting behind some guy with their lights on flashing away during rush hour… causing a rubber-necking delay for 10 miles… isn’t that what they are doing?
