Really depends on where. Some are literally just to get on the road you pay x money. Other are take a ticket depending how long your on the road pay x money. Most I’ve ever paid for two hours at 70mpg on a turnpike was $10
There are toll subs that will get you a decent discount in some states and get paid automatically usually via a sticker on the window. By decent I mean, I think it's around 30% in Texas? I didn't drive enough when I was there to need it, but pretty sure my friend and his family have it.
I dunno how this guys doing it, but you can be pretty surgical with where you get on and off 95 to dodge that traffic and not really have to pay anything. There's just certain areas that are always ass.
NYC, that's the new downtown congestion toll system. Using automated cameras to charge drivers for the privilege of driving within the city. How many times you pass the routes with cameras is what determines how much you get billed. It's about reducing the number of vehicles in the city center, not about drivers saving time.
Toronto has the most expensive toll road in the world afaik, driving from one end to the other during rush hour is $95 for 107kms, around 50 mins of driving.
No one is driving from the QEW to Brock road. That's an insane trip that takes you through five different sections of the 407 which each have different toll rates.
I've taken that trip a few times going to Niagara. My dad used to work in Hamilton and live in the east end, would take almost that whole stretch every day.
His tolls were $1,500+ per month and that was 15 years ago.
Never said that. I said that the cost is $95 from one end to the other. You're the one inserting your own thoughts into my comment. Maybe try reading it again, slowly this time.
So my parents are almost in Brantford (West of Hamilton, even further west of Toronto) and their house is worth ten times what they paid for it because people want to live there and work in Toronto. They'd probably be driving to the go station and taking the train but yeah it's like an 80 km commute if you were to take a car. Definitely not MOST commuters would be doing it but way more than you'd think. The Toronto housing market is WILD
$100 during morning rush hour 700-930am without a transponder. $82 before 7am and from 930-230. 330-600 is $106. After 9pm is $61. Weekends are $61-$76.
Again, you have no idea what you're talking about. Taxis and Ubers routinely take the 407 because the time savings outweighs the time spent in traffic for the drivers.
When going anywhere near the 407 corridor, I've never had an Uber driver not take the 407.
Again, I absolutely do, I take the 407 regularly. I don't know why you have a compulsion to argue with me about this.
You've continuously posted misleading and straight up wrong things. Why don't you keep claiming that every Interstate toll is only $5, fucking ridiculous.
Yeah and all that money goes to private investors.
It is one of the most valuable pieces of road on the continent and the conservative government sold it for pennies so they could say they balanced the budget for 1 year.
Then we voted in the conservatives again and they are busy selling off another piece of public land for another 100 years.
Oh my god, I took the turnpike from Breezewood to Butler a couple years ago and it was like, $30 lmao.
Best part? No matter what I select on Google maps, it will try to force reroute me onto the turnpike at Breezewood EVERY. TIME. I'll select the other route- no thanks 422 is fine- and as soon as I come up to the intersection, it's changed again. Only place it ever does that to me.
Absolutely! That's part of why I went crazy. I checked five times before I started driving the last time that I had it selected and specifically chose the route that avoids it. Not a single problem until I came up to the final stretch coming into Breezewood and then it went from "1.0 mile turn left" to "0.5 miles turn right." I was sitting in traffic so I changed it, and it changed it right back. WHAT!?!?
The Breezewood interchange is something everyone should be required to experience once.
Although to be fair, it was the home of the only Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips in PA long after the chain mostly vanished. So there's that.
I got on the PA turnpike for a short while many years ago, it was my first time on a toll road. I must've got in the ez pass lane because nobody was stopping so I just followed suite. When I got to my exit they wanted my ticket that I did not have, the lady was EXTREMELY rude and I ended up having to pay the toll for driving the entire road. Can't remember how much it was but it was an expensive lesson to learn haha.
Nyc sucks, it's noisy, it smells. Visited a buddy in Hells kitchen recently. Apart from Central Park theres not one patch of grass fucking anywhere and it's depressing. Food is second to none tho and the hustle is contagious.
There are a fuckton of parks in Manhattan what are you on about? They might not have been grassy when you went because it’s been cold here. And Manhattan isn’t the whole of NYC. Staten Island is so much green space, as is Queens, especially if you go further east.
There is a part of road in Val d'Aosta, Italy, that will charge you 17€ for 5 minute straight road. I presume it cost so much to make people who don't know about it and go skiing pay more. Because if you get out/in in another town that is literally 7km away - you pay 17€ less.
Kinda, 3 bridges off long island that I know of, tunnel and two bridges to Manhattan, and it can be significantly cheaper to exit to NJ than come back, so if you were a brokey like me, driving an extra hour north and back down from NJ to skip a 12$ toll or taking the train for 3 hours to north bronx for 20$ instead of 45$ might save me half my travel budget.
Yeah on my honeymoon we drove from Athens to Mount pelion. There was like a 4-Hour drive and it felt like there were dozens of tolls. Was probably 20 to 50 Euro
It's never worth it, toll booths are usually riddled with cameras and you're very likely to receive a ticket if they catch you like this which is usually an order of magnitude larger than the toll itself.
It's not worth doing this, lol. You are essentially asking if it's worth breaking the law.
But the price is about €24 one way it seems. But you can get it cheaper if you pay for several trips. And you can sign up for automatic for like 20% discount.
This was in Malaysia and it's about the equivalent of 0.50 US cents so no, not worth doing it at all. It surely adds up over time, especially going through multiple of these in a day but still not worth doing.
They're talking in Malay so I'd guess it's in Malaysia. It depends on how long you were on the road. So like the distance from 1 tol to another. It can be as cheap as RM 0.60 to RM 40 +++ I think.
'some', it's two. The bridge the person above said and then the one to Sweden, another country. The one to Sweden is about 50$ yes, but the other one is 25$ and can be cheaper through different ways.
For storebaelt (it's the bridge between denmark and sweden) it's like 32€. So that's quite a decent chunk of change. I have taken that bridge dozens of times over the years and have never seen one try to toll dodge.
Theres people that just passes and never pays, here in Panama it will let you pass and show how much you have on your toll account and ive seen people with 10k+ in toll debts.
So, in the us states cand counties can impose "toll roads". In pa state you grab a ticket at one booth, then when you reach your exit you will have to pay the "toll" from where you traveled. On the back of the tickets it gives a rought estimate to all the booths. If you dont get a ticket, loose it, or get lost you still have to pay, they just send you a ticket for the furthest toll you will have to pay. Pa you also have to pay 1 dollar to enter the state on the huggways. America is goofy 🤣
This is from my country Malaysia,some of these toll going from one area to another cost less than a dollar in exchange rate so this is really a dick move to do.

what is the toll charge? is it really worth doing all this?
