Because why should my taxes pay for a position that isn’t necessary?

A bill collector machine not a person

They do have a bill collector machine. It's called EZ Pass.

You understand the coins would need to get sorted and verified and then brought to a bank while the deposit is prepared. There isn't a magic pipe from the machine to the bank.

The ez pass speeds up traffic, it's more accurate, it's safer and more convenient. Sincerely I have no idea what your hold up is or no sympathy to your arguments. It's not some big government ploy to steal your information. It's just a tool to travel faster and easier.

Someone has to gather those coins. And do with them whatever is done with them. Also, watch video, have a statie there, etc.

Fucking cry baby. Holy shit. Somebody should be there. Period. Forcing people to use automated is bullshit. It’s not necessary. Deal with it.

Our taxes are supposed to pay for our roads, they sure aren’t ever fixed. Stop using the “but my taxes” excuse. It’s absolute bullshit at this point because they’re just pocketing our taxes and you KNOW it.

What's unnecessary is forcing someone to stand in a shity toll booth 24 hours a day to do a job that can be done by a $10 piece of plastic.

It's 2022, people don't even need an ez pass now. They just tag your plate and send you the bill later. Which is perfect for folks who rarely drive through toll roads like me.
