I'm not sure about the 101 project in SF but we have exactly this in southern california and believe it or not it's been great. They integrated the HOV lanes into a Bus Rapid Transit system and use demand pricing to ensure that the lanes almost always stay moving.
AFAIK the project expenditure is covered by people who want to get there faster. In this case the city/Metro gets to deploy more public transit without having to pay for it, and without having to charge riders more money. There are plans for expansion of the system as it's been very popular.
