Now this is ironic, since CT removed the tollbooths in the early 1980’s because, after wages and expenses, the tolls weren’t actually bringing in that much money.

We’ve got a toll bridge just completed on I-65 in Louisville. There are no longer toll booths at all. Either you prepay or they send you a bill. It’s $2 if you prepay and $4 if you pay after. It’s so computerized that it costs them very little to charge you now. It’s a cash cow ;)

I avoid it at all costs, if only out of principle. I remember when they took the tool booths off the 520 floating bridge in Seattle because it was paid for. Can you imagine, in your wildest dreams, modern politicians doing that?

While that was certainly part of it, the biggie was the toll crash that killed a bunch of people.

Doesn't stop us here in MA. Today, there is word that they cannot live within their means even without tollbooths - apparently, the credit card fees are too high for them now.

And they caused massive traffic jams and they experienced a handful of fiery crashes that killed people
