When I went to college in Bethlehem, the drive from home in Pittsburgh cost $12 each way on the turnpike. By the time I was finished with college it was $20. I would pay $12 to save the 30-45 min. At $20 I stopped using it. It wasn’t worth it and with the amount of cops on the road, it is even less worth it.

The Turnpike might be sort of worth it at today’s price if you could go 90-100 mph legally. Otherwise, I will spend the extra 30-45 minutes to visit my friends in Eastern PA and NJ by driving through Maryland and save myself over $100 on my trip in unnecessary costs.
