MOTORISTS STILL ADJUSTING TO NEW HIGHWAY 680 TOLL LANE

Before the new Highway 680 toll lane opened, Bonnie Leeman spent 10 minutes driving to work in the commuter lane.  Now, the same drive takes her 23 minutes because none of the new toll lane's entry or exit points fall along her route.  Leeman describes the new lane as being "like a BART train with no doors."  And she's not the only critic.  Raj Malik, another Fremont commuter, said he has convenient access to a toll lane entrance but is forced to drive miles beyond his offramp to exit the lane.  "It's like the Hotel California.  You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave."
