Wow. I got the same results as you for PA Turnpike pricing.
That is disgusting. Beyond disgusting. I don’t think they realize that the higher prices will simply steer people to alternate routes. You can bypass a lot of I-76 by taking I-68 through WVa and Western MD. There will come a point very soon where that will make a lot more financial sense. I don’t think you’d lose much time either since the PA Turnpike has a lot more traffic jams than other highways.
I had heard that they’re pushing to make I-80 a toll road in PA. I think we are safe for now, but if the Dems were to ever get complete control of the state, I can almost promise you that they’ll do that.
