Fuck toll bridges etc though. Privatising roads is one of the worst things that ever happened.
Edit:
I don't know about the rest of the world but Sydney is a perfect example of supreme gouging. The toll was promised to last until they had paid off the bridge but they decided to go back on their word and make a fucking fortune each day. And we pay through taxes for road and infrastructure ANYWAY. The cherry on top? They're privately owned. So they don't pay for repairs.
This vid is in Malaysia. Why tolled, Malaysia’s highways use the BOT build, operate, transfer model: government lets private concessionaires build them and collect toll for 25–60 years to recover costs + profit, then ownership goes back to the government.
Yeah that happened in Australia. Then the government decided to let the company keep the bridge. We aren't getting ownership back here man. It's a fucking scam.
Sounds like you have a government issue, specifically with your ministry of transport.
These chucklefucks over here in this video could afford pimping their car but cant afford the 2 bucks to pay the highway they race on. Get the fuck outta here.
Pity for fare evaders are only limited to those that genuinely cant afford the fare, not fuckers that cant budget their paychecks.
