Reply to comment by linkdudesmash in PA Bill Would Suspend Registrations For $250 In Unpaid Turnpike Tolls by alfdud

For your education, use their toll calculator to actually see what it costs: https://www.paturnpike.com/toll-calculator

A full trip east to west without EZ pass is $95. Tons of the "PA Turnpike is most expensive Turnpike" articles interpret the data wrongly to generate clickbait.

Yeah, 100 bux to drive yourself 400 miles is reasonable. 1000 toll collectors fired and rates continue to increase without any money returning to the economy thru wages. Nothing to see here.

Direct your ire to Rendell and Act 44 that forced the Turnpike to pay $500 million per year to PennDot. The debt means that Turnpike has to raise rates to pay their debts off from Rendell's past screw up.

I guess not. But with the constant circle-jerk of crapping on the Turnpike based on poor data understanding, you can understand someone being tired of it.
