Chalk this up to ignorance...

The new diamond lanes northbound and southbound between Finch and Sheppard on Dufferin/Allen Road are now exclusively for buses during all hours. Two police officers were in the southbound lane south of Rimrock (Downsview Chrysler) pulling over all vehicles who thought that the new diamond lane was also for vehicles with three or more passengers. Unfortunately, one of these vehicles also included my my uncle's car (I hitched a ride with my aunt and uncle this morning). In the end it was an $80 ticket, thankfully without points.

Just be careful the next time you come across a diamond lane in the city of Toronto and you are carpooling, check the sign.

yeah i noticed that last week while i was passing long lines of cars until i realized that the signs changed to just bus signs. so i figured that they changed the type of lane.fortunately for me i didn't get caught....why wouldn't they post other signs like "NEW for buses ONLY" instead of just putting a small picture of a bus??
