Supply and demand. You want congestion-free lanes, you have to pay what it’s worth - and other drivers are willing to pay $34 for it.
First day will, of course, fluctuate wildly while some try it for sheer novelty, and others discover the hard way that maybe it isn’t worth that much after all (after driving up the price by actually being willing to pay that much).
I’m all for paid toll lanes. Gives people a what-it’s-worth congestion-free option, and gives everyone else a free you-and-everyone-else option.
Discriminatory. This closes the roads to all but the rich. Why not fix the roads to support the traffic instead of squeezing people? I-66 and I-495 variable tolls are wrong.
And yes, as a former 19-year resident, I remember the stupid agreements they wrote to limit widening I-66. How about run the Metro out to Chantilly and Manassas? And a Metro around the beltway as well.
