I frequently drive from Hartford to Albany via the Mass Pike. There is presently no charge for the 90 minute portion in Massachussetts.

However, there is a person handing out the toll tickets on the entry end and a person collecting the tickets on the exit end of the toll road. Reportedly, their annual salaries are as high as $80K.

This is how Massachussetts “creates” jobs.

Plus full teamsters union benefits.

btw I was wrong when I said that there would be tolls in
Sturbridge—there WILL be some, but only for those coming from CT on I-84 (and vice versa), whereas I believe if
you’re on the reg. pike itself, no tolls. They were saying on radio that if your commute was, say, Framingham to Springfield, no tolls
