Didn’t know that. Hey, they have to justify their existence somehow. That and the new tollroad is Gov. Goodhair’s pet projects. I have yet to use either and somehow manage to get to where I need to go.
Hubby used the tollroad once over my objections. Since we didn’t have a tag, we got a bill for nearly $5 (including the return postage) to drive about a mile. Being the good parent that I am, I got a tag for junior’s vehicle that he’s never used so that’s $20 the state has been using for a year.
Mark, Ed and SGT Sam had the boardings on Cap Metro rail as one of their subjects a couple of days after it was in the Statesman. Most callers were hacked off about the “faked” numbers. They use the same method on the bus system. One person could get on and off at every other block and it is called a boarding. 20 + boardings for one person in a day!!
We do have the TX Tag on each of our vehicles, but seldom use any of the toll roads. We kept our daughter on our account, even though lives in Houston and teaches in Katy. There are some places she has to go that the tool road just saves a lot of time.
