See a need fill a need... The Commute Helper

An edited article from Personal Finance Advice:

A man helps people have a smooth and quick commute by standing at the freeway entrance and held up a sign that said, "Traffic is bad. Spend 2 hours or pay me $10 and get there in 20 minutes" then sitting in their cars so that they can use the carpool lane. When he gets dropped off, he walked to the other side, holds up his sign and gets paid to go back the other way. On a typical day he makes 2 to 3 round trips during the morning commute rush hour and 3 - 5 round trips during the evening rush hour. If there is an accident and traffic is really slow, his price doubles. He clears $100 - $300 a day sitting in a car so others can get to work and home faster.
