toll UNappreciation

[jaehow]

i dont know about the east coast but in the bay area, if you wanna go 30 mins in dam near any direction, you're gonna pay toll goin across a bridge. if notone way then comin back home lol. its just terrible, but i wanna know how much money they make a day off of tolls...any1 know?

I practically always run them. They used to do nothing, but I guess Idid it enough to where they noticed a repeat offender, and they now send me tickets. But the tickets are $2 (the same cost as the toll), so I still run themand just figure I'll get lucky and go free, or get a letter to pay what I would have anyways.

I stop and pay if I'm not in a hurry though, because I have a bad feeling that one day they're going to decide I've played them enough and send afull citation.

I don't know how it is in other states, though.

hate the tolls as well. But what can you really do?

 

[ii flash ii]

Down here in Orlando... Tolls are everywhere... Supposedly, you can run up to 3 tolls a month without getting a ticket... but after the 3rd you got to pay afull ticket... But god they are everywhere... It cost me me 3.50(3 tolls each way) a day going to school that was only 25 minutes away

My friends and I were in Orlando on vacation. We were wondering why there was a toll just for the freeway. We weren't crossing a bridge or anything. Whenwe got up to the toll, we saw a sign that said "$0.75" or something like that. Coming from the bay area, we thought that it was hella cheap with ourtolls being like $4.00. Then they get you with another toll a few miles down the road for another $0.75, then another. That was horrible.

Nothing beats the Chesapeake Bay Bridge/Tunnel toll. It's 12 dollars to go on the Eastern Shore, and 5 dollars back if you return within 24 hours. If not,you have to pay another 12 dollars

your lucky your tickets are only the price of the toll. usually here in jersey if you run the toll and get caught your pay possibly ten times more thanwhat the toll is. sucks

Funny I was on the bridge the day they changed the toll prices. Cops was there handing out tickets left and right cause mad ppl didnt have that extra $2

.

If bloomberg gets the go ahead for that toll plan for manhattan, I unno what ima do cause thats gonna be od. Its posed to help free up congestion but Ithink its gonna make it worse. Theres gonna be a boatload of traffic tryin to get thru the toll booths at rush hour.

The only toll in Ohio is the Turnpike, $4.25 from Cleveland to Toledo

 

[mangudai954]

Tolls and Private roads are big business. A sleazy one at that.

No tolls here in Las Vegas, and of course, no state income tax as well.

ha Ive never seen a toll in Michigan. Only toll I see are at the bridge or tunnell to canada.

Orlando does have a lot of tolls, but if you know the city well enough, you can get around with using them.
