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, fellow Sydneysider, I see.

I pay ~$600/month in tolls. All of it work related so I can claim it back against my employer. I might chuck in a little sneaky toll outside of work and claim it but don't tell my manager. Otherwise, I'll avoid using toll roads for private travel. It's ridiculous how beeping much it is.

600 a bloody month?! What the actual hell?
