Did you know, that San Francisco toll roads (supposedly from what someone that works on them told me) don't accept credit or debit cards to reduce traffic congestion?

Next time you go through one of their tolls you should go out of your way to stop at a bank and get pennies. I hate the $20 fine they stack on you if you don't have any cash.

That would piss so many people off. Lol

Fuck em. Also, why the fuck do some of the bridges open up to 5-6 lanes, only to bi whittled down to 3 toll booths?

Sorry, I just really really hate toll roads. Especially when I have to spend $4 in gas in Cali.

Yeah. I pay almost 2.80 $/gal in Georgia.

Still not cheap.

There were 2 gas stations 2 miles apart across county lines that had a 50 cent difference in price while I was driving through.

Dang.

Not that extreme in the south.

that happens occasionally up here in NY too, though that extreme of a price difference is usually due to the gas station being on a reservation

are you really complaining about $2.80/gal? ffs, we're paying $3.46/gal here!

I haven't seen that price in 20 years!

Why would you live in California?

@DJ_Anuz they accept credit/debit, but not at the booths. you sign up for a rfid unit and it bills your account. they call it FasTrak

I'm not signing up for FasTrak and sticking that stupid thing on my car for the 2 times each year I visit family in California.

not saying you should, or even could (think you need to live in cA for that), just that it exists and that is how those who live here pay via card. the toll roads in southern california are better, as you can just register your license plate and it bills you without any fees or extra equipment. iirc rental cars often come with them as well.

Yeah, I still think any toll fees in a state that makes more per gallon in taxes than the oil industry are retarded.

Usually the guy charging to go over the bridge is the bad guy.

Found the Yellow Vest terrorist

the toll roads (at least in socal) are privately owned, and are way better maintained than any of the public roads. imo abolish any road taxes/gas taxes and privatize the roads. they do a better job anyway

I don't think that would be a good thing (tho i'm all for lowing taxes).

wouldnt be worse than it currently is

it would of course be another natural monopoly, like utils

A huge majority of US roads are built privately

Because of the technology we have now, the roads are a necessary function of the state. There are plenty of other wasteful spending examples (*coughBarackMedcough*) to pick on.

Not a function of the fed though, should be managed locally. Only a function of federal if/how it relates to military

litres or gallons, that's a great price

It’s not a great price if it’s liters

That’s over a dollar more a gallon than I pay if it’s liters

in $AUD it is
