They are forcing us to use ezpass by getting rid of the toll takers

They are starting to eliminate toll booths on the MA Pike

If you don't have ezpass they will send a bill and charge you more

I am not giving them more if I can help it

Ahhhhh ok. I thought it was something for fuel at the gas stations. No tolls where I am. The last time I drove over a bridge with a toll was a few years ago. Never did get a bill for it.

The highway through hell was a toll road. They took it off once it was paid for. It sure took a long time to pay for that road.

We do have the ICC and teh express lanes on 95 that are electronic or video tolls. No toll collectors at all. The existing toll plazas have a mix of ezpass lanes and regular booths.

The toll plazas will be going away eventually..

They can save on salaries and less congestion if the get rid of them

I am sure they will Don. What sucks is the fastest one can go through most of teh toll plazas here is 30 mph. I wish they would speed it up more.
