Because $4 in quarters is a bit much. Worked well when tolls were 50 cents. EZ pass .. simple, offers discounts... Problem solved.

It’s almost like forcing people to buy ez passes. They should just have a bill collector at the booths then if they can’t find workers to work.

An EZ pass costs $10 for your car. That is a 1 time payment. As someone that uses toll roads daily I saved that cost in a single month from traveling. And I don't need to try and find cash and coins lying around (don't carry cash at all).

Because why should my taxes pay for a position that isn’t necessary?

A bill collector machine not a person

They do have a bill collector machine. It's called EZ Pass.

You understand the coins would need to get sorted and verified and then brought to a bank while the deposit is prepared. There isn't a magic pipe from the machine to the bank.
The ez pass speeds up traffic, it's more accurate, it's safer and more convenient. Sincerely I have no idea what your hold up is or no sympathy to your arguments. It's not some big government ploy to steal your information. It's just a tool to travel faster and easier.

Someone has to gather those coins. And do with them whatever is done with them. Also, watch video, have a statie there, etc.

Fucking cry baby. Holy shit. Somebody should be there. Period. Forcing people to use automated is bullshit. It’s not necessary. Deal with it.
Our taxes are supposed to pay for our roads, they sure aren’t ever fixed. Stop using the “but my taxes” excuse. It’s absolute bullshit at this point because they’re just pocketing our taxes and you KNOW it.

What's unnecessary is forcing someone to stand in a shity toll booth 24 hours a day to do a job that can be done by a $10 piece of plastic.

It’s 2022. Get an ez pass

It's 2022, people don't even need an ez pass now. They just tag your plate and send you the bill later. Which is perfect for folks who rarely drive through toll roads like me.

They can find workers. And you can take alternate routes.ez pass is not really that much work. Do you have a working budget? If not i recommend it.

I travel those states twice a month and rarely ever do highway driving. It’s just a pain knowing I have the money to pay at the time but then have to call the state, pay by phone. Just unnecessary really imo. At least have an automated bill machine if you can’t find workers

“but still” isnt a point. also, “ seems like a money grab” it is. there are taxes and fees to living.
