I30 used to be a toll road; once the bond was paid, the toll booths came out.

THis is true, however, since we now have a 'Toll Authority', not a single toll booth in the state has been torn down to my knowledge. Nor, will they ever.

I used to work at a place overlooking a tollbooth to a Thruway. They had a full-time employee collecting tolls during the day but at night it was just a coin drop into a basket.

I counted the cars one day, and I estimated that the only purpose of collecting tolls there was to pay the salary of the employee.
