I had the "privilege" of experiencing the QEW HOV lanes through Oakville and Burlington last summer at PM rush hour on a Friday.
I found them to be mostly useless to be honest; the highway was so jammed that cars were unable to pull out of the HOV lane to reach their exits, so the congestion backed up into the HOV lane.
