That depends on your definition of "successful".

It seems to me that these lanes are in the Hartford, Ct. area on highway 84 outside the metro areas. IIRC there were times during heavy traffic that one would see one car using this lane just blasting up the highway laughing and mocking the slower moving traffic. They also seemed to run quite a distance away from Hartford.

You dont think about using that lane until you're stuck in traffic alone and you see someone whiz by. The lane is normally clear so in that moment that you think "wow, if I had someone else with me I could be moving right now instead of parking" that car is long gone.
