Guess what, you gotta pay for maintaining the roads one way or another. If your tolls don't pay for it it's my taxes and I don't even own a car so fuck that.

We know you’re an idiot because the “tolls were supposed to be temporary to pay off the bridge/tunnel/highway” thing is a global old wives tail. There’s a small set of places where this was actually done. But literally every place on earth people claim this is fact.

Yep, paying off the construction of a road is one thing but roads take significant amounts of further investment to maintain. They take exponentially more when they're in tunnel form and any work on them requires dealing with a mess of other cables and tunnels. There's no fair way to do it without user fees.
