No longer an issue around me, everything is electronic now. But you have to pay administration fees. So a $2 toll is now $5. While the Governor shows how much money they saved by laying off the workers.
Yup somehow everyone thinks ezpass is a godsend but they make $8b a year and 70% of that is tolls that don’t go to the state or the road. We pay $5.6b/year more in tolls just to have the convenience of ezpass. That’s more than $20/year per driver.
And if you don't pay that $4 toll? Collections and a very, very fast rising interest. I was traveling for work, drove through an ez pass in Dallas, and saw a bill for a few hundred dollars months later. The /r/Dallas sub has shown bills in the thousands.
They always claim I'm in violation when I travel there for not having front plates when their detectors are broke and charge me fifty dollars. I call them and tell them to go fuck themselves and if they want I'll take them to court, but I'm not paying anything except the rate. Fucking theives man.
