we have a toll road and what I have noticed is that the rates they have now pretty well exclude a large segment of the middle class and all the lower class from being able afford its use during peak hours because they jack the rates up so high. So like your restaurant analogy, no one can afford the toll road except the well to do or businesses. What’s funny is that I found many times that the free lanes were moving faster than the toll lanes.
Yep - a lot of people assume, that because they're paying for it, it is a better way to go.
