According to Statistics Canada, the share of commuting using carpool in Vancouver is 11.2%. However commuting makes up a minority in highway travel overall, so the real share of carpooling among all traffic is much lower than 11%, making carpool lanes either underused or not used as intended (most carpoolers are family members who would travel together regardless of carpool lanes, so they don't actually reduce vehicle travel).

That's not how it works... Just because 11.2% of the population uses carpooling doesn't mean the HOV lanes are utilized 11.2% on Highway 1 lol.
