Alex B: Reversible lanes like on 395/95 are not cheap, and represent only a marginal increase in capacity. In short, it's just not cost-effective.

Compared to the $5B it takes to build a new metro line, it is lot cheaper! Sure rail has much higher capacity, but it also costs so much more. So regarding the cost-effectiveness, you must also consider how much it will get used -- i.e., are you getting enough bang for the taxpayer's buck? You have not shown this.
