An if the round trip costs you $80.00?

I pay a lot more than that per mile on the Houston toll roads now. What are we talking about? $5.00 from San Antonio to Austin. $10.00 From Austin to Waco or Waco to Dallas. For a fast safe ride, you bet I would.

At .15 cents per mile, the round trip from Houston to SA would be 60.00.

Cost from San Antonio to Dallas and back would be $82.00

82.00 bucks that would not be spent in Dallas. Too much.

Your contention that it somehow reduce traffic is completely unfounded.

Well, in their master plan (1st Edition) Cintra-Zachry is figuring on starting out the toll rates at 15.2 cents/mile for cars and 58.5 cents/mile for trucks. Just something to think about.
