That’s not how it works. Lower traffic calls for higher tolls. When the traffic decline is even steeper then the tolls have to be doubled to make up for lost revenue.Etc. Government work.

Lower traffic calls for higher tolls

I had a small wholesale business in Florida in the 80s. Some of the retailers I supplied had that same approach. When business was down they raised their prices. Nothing I could say would change their minds.

Exactly! This is the socialist / Marxist paradigm. Government sponsored theft until civil society collapses. Then the thugs and looters are free to once again become the new, albeit grimier lords of the realm and the rest of us are once again serfs, vassals and slaves.

Yeah, so as you approach zero traffic, you raise tolls to infinity so you maintain your revenue stream. You wanna be that last car?
