We have it lol
yeah there are private roads
what? how does that make sense. You have to cross a bridge, and you can't cross any other bridge, why would they want to lower that cost?
they could charge you whatever
what's ezpass?
when you cross a roll
Toll
Instead of stopping and paying
The toll road scans your car for it and automatically takes money out of an account
oh tight, private or government?
Saving time
I don’t actually know
Lol
I’ll look it up 1 sec
I would assume private
yee just curious, i would assume that too
Oh it’s only in MA
rip
competition doesn't apply to bridges: you have to cross specific bridges to get to specific places (that's how bridges work)
and it’s private he’s
Yes*
I bet other places have other programs similar
yea
programs similar lol idk why I phrased it that way
but anyway yeah let's invest in our bridges
I understood either way xD
Another problem with that is
I live on cape cod
And when they were fixing the bridges
It was fucking aids
To cross
ooof I feel that, had a similar situation a couple summers ago
Took around 1-2hours to get to the mainland
yeah I mean there's no good way around that right? when you need to update infrastructure people are just boned who have to interact with that infrastructure
but I don't think that's an excuse to not repair things
like it sucks but we gotta do it
and last I checked our bridges are in a *seriously* bad state
and if they fail then the government is gonna have to intervene, and it'll be way more expensive to deal with a broken bridge than to repair an existing one
