Taxpayers of NYS were told that after 25 years the Thruway would be toll free. 50 years later they keep raising the tolls - go figure. Marixist states need money for their social programs.
I’ve never driven on it, but I’ve been told, that the New York State Thruway is in terrible condition. Granted older roads will need maintenance, however, people I spoke to, wondered where their toll money was going, because it clearly wasn’t going into maintenance.
