They approve these things by fabricating evidence to show the tollroad views amongst citizens is nearly equal, when in fact its not.

The vote was not unanimous. Groups against the toll roads have vowed to tie up the process and create delays with lawsuits.
They are gonna drag this thing out as long as possible. It's ridiculous. If you don't want to pay, stay off the damn road.
is this thing gonna have an ez pass system like other toll roads ive seen? are we gonna just be able to drive through with an electronic tag, or are we gonna have to actually stop and pay?
Yes. More people WANT them!
I would think there'd have to be an EZPass system.
Well let's get this show on the road then! Now if they begin construction next summer, will we see the completion in our lifetime??
toll roads are usually built faster than normal free ways because the companies building them are actually going to see revenue from them.
i just hope they get these things built sooner rather than later, the more delays, the more headaches are going to pile up during construction.
welcome to the new world
The one's in CA have a thing call FastTrak. You have transponder and believe me, they know when it's not registered to your car. My dad gave us one of his to use in our car and they got a letter stating that the transponder wasn't in the right car. However, if you don't have one, the every so often you have to stop and pay. I'm not sure how many miles apart the tolls are, though.
I think they are going to imbed a toll microchip in your forehead.
I don't know if SA's rates will be like, but I doubt they'd be much less than CA's?

CA's tolls are ridiculous
$4-6 depending on which bridge.
17 cents a mile in SA.
Wow, 17 cents is REALLY high.
That ain't
That's like what, a $2 toll?
If the metro planners are smart -- I'll have to be convinced they are -- then your toll roads should be part of the TxTag system which works on most of the toll roads in Texas.

The newer toll roads in D/FW are being built with NO way to pay on the highway. You either use a toll tag (eztag, etc) or you get a bill with a service charge tacked on making it even more expensive.
Not surprisingly something like 25% of the people so billed aren't paying so far.
Taxation without representation.
God Bless the red coats are back!!!
I already pay.It's ridiculous. If you don't want to pay, stay off the damn road.
Its called the gas tax.
Keep up the genius takes
The premise seems good, but I can't help but think there is an implicit catch that I'm not catching because I never bothered to research toll roads.
I don't think this idea will work, because it didn't really help when they got their own forum.
Oh, wait, you said toll . . .
The tolls in Austin aren't that bad on my wallet, granted, I don't take them every day, but I'd say I don't spend more than $10 a week on it. Probably less than that on average.
I guess my question from the other thread has been answered.
