The point is that HOV lanes are slightly higher capacity than SOV lanes, but that hardly qualifies as 'good planning'. Dense development around a rail station that has a much larger capacity than a HOV lane - now that's good planning.

So, "good planning" requires that we have no roads at all even if they are HOV? Only rail qualifies as "good planning"?

Slugging can only exist because urban transportation planning failed. There are quite some requirements for slugging to work. You need a corridor with a common end that has HOV restrictions due to heavy congestion. What's the normal solution for that? Rail!

This is like saying biking can only exist because the transportation system has failed. There are quite some requirements for biking to work -- lack of parking, congested roads, etc. What's the "normal" solution for those problems? Why, of course, build more roads!*
