Is there a toll road between Pittsburg and Philadelphia??

Now that most of the tollbooths are down and we are now taking pictures of license plates and mailing toll bills (or charging existing transponder accounts), the next big thing will be "variable" tolls.

Basically the rush-hour commuters are going to get hosed big time. The government will be using the "Uber" pricing model to increase prices during peak times.

So for example, if it's normally $1.50 toll from point A to point B, during the hours of 6-10am and then from 4-8pm, that same toll may be increased to $3.75.

This will of course sock it to the working people who pay all the taxes and subsidize those laying about at home collecting welfare and food stamps (who of course, won't have to pay any tolls at all because they have no place to be).

Turnpike toll increases are more than motorists should have to bear (1/8)

Is it a stretch to think, that with modern technology (transponders, license plate readers, etc.), that all roads will be toll roads eventually?

Think about it. Cameras and transponder readers could be installed everywhere. Even if you are just driving on local streets to go do your grocery shopping, they would bill you for driving three miles down the road.

There’s a Shuster in the woodpile, somewhere.

Interesting. Oklahoma just raised it’s pike fees, also. One pays a toll fee no matter which direction one goes from Tulsa,

The Pa. Turnpike keeps increasing tolls, and now it's under review amid 'grave concerns' (1/5)

The Pennsylvania Turnpike? - isn’t that the road that was supposed to be paid off via its tolls decades ago - and then stop charging tolls?.......
