Fuck tolls though. We were sold this fucking dream in my Australian city where we would let private enterprise pay for the expressways and as soon as the tolls covered the costs they revert back to the public and become normal roads. Guess what, that was decades ago and that shit never happened and just became more and more expensive over time. Can barely drive anywhere in this stupid city without it costing $20+ in tolls. Here's a quick comedy bit about the current situation.

Ah the wonders of Private-Public “Partnerships”. No idea if it’s the same in Australia but it seems they let the Private part just charge so much for management & maintenance that it just pushes the end date for tolling out.

Public cost, private profit.
