Tolls

Posted by Jeff Rosen on Sat Sep 30 21:32:41 2023

Charging pennies under $7 with EZ Pass or $11 without it each way just to go from Long Island (Queens) to the Bronx or Manhattan or from Brooklyn to Manhattan is nothing but highway robbery and ANYONE who defends it in ANY way is an asshole who deserves NO respect from me. PERIOD!!

Which is why I wonder who’s REALLY blocking attempts at a cross-sound crossing.

You know with EZ Pass it's easy to forget that you're paying real money since you're not handling bills or coins and you only pay when your account gets replenished. Well today I had to drive my wife to a catering hall for a function in Chappaqua. Since the Clintons weren't home there was nothing to do in Chappaqua for 6 hours I had to go home and make 2 round trips which was $27 and change. Just for 2 round trips to Chappaqua not including gas!!!

1. You could have driven into Manhattan via one of the non-tolled East River Bridges, driven uptown and crossed into the Bronx via one of the non-tolled bridges and avoided all tolls, just as you could have done before the Triborough Bridge was opened in 1936.

2. The price of gold was $35/oz in 1936 through the early 1970's. It stands at approximately $1900/oz today. In terms of gold, the original quarter toll would be $13.57 today.

What a ridiculous post. This argument could only be made by someone who learns about the real world purely through charts and tables.
