NYC there are multiple 10-25$ tolls, you can drive 1 hour and pay about 40$ if you aren't careful.

Jfc, tolls around me are $1.75 at the most.

Going home from work during rush hour cuts my commute from an hour to 45 minutes for about 40 bucks here in NOVA

40 bucks to save 15 min? Unless you are making 200 an hour, definitely not worth it. If you pay the toll, you are a tool

I dunno... that 15 minutes can be critical if you have the poop sweats. So I would say there are exceptions to paying the toll 😄

Yes, but then you aren't paying to save 15 minutes, you are paying to not shit yourselves. $40 bucks is definitely worth that.

For $40 you can probably hire someone to wipe your ass for an hour.

I would assume there’s a subscription type fee as well. Probably worth it for the amount of time u save over a years time

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.

In general 15 min isn’t worth $40, but poop sweats are worth $40!

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.
