You do realize that if you get rid of those busses then the traffic will be even worse right? Even if all of those people end up carpooling, they'll occupy way more space in the HOV lane.

The real solution should be to expand the number of HOV lanes.

My point is they have effectively become restricted public transportation where there was demand for a viable real public transportation. This has made it so the average person no longer has an option. These routes are not viable for both a public and private option. Everyone coming from the West side to work at my office both drives and is a short walk from a Microsoft bus pickup.

Haven't you heard that increasing the number of lanes makes traffic worse?

I think (and may be wrong) they meant conversion of lanes to HOV, but not actually increase lanes.
