Reply to comment by No-Setting9690 in PA Bill Would Suspend Registrations For $250 In Unpaid Turnpike Tolls by alfdud

Yes, the dataset is for end to end, but only focusing on that ignores the length of the road which is incredibly important.

I was trying to break it down further to show how the cost is not the most expensive in the world.

The Turnpike is one of the longest in the world, which causes the price to be higher.

Complaining about the price is basically complaining the roadway is long. And that's ridiculous.

So, I'm asking if you have any data that compares same lengths of roadway, because that would actually determine how expensive it is.

It still does not change the fact it is the most expensive end to end. I am not arguing it's the most expensive per mile. You're talking in circles and for some reason cannot grasp it's not the same discussion.

Because it isn't the same discussion. Length of road correlates to more expensive trip end-to-end. That's why I broke it down to per-mile, because that's more accurate and removes length of roadway as a consideration.

It's increasingly looking like you're just stirring the pot by adding to the "turnpike is so expensive" circlejerk that happens on here every other week. You spout the miscontrued data of being most expensive, but ignore anything else that debunks that, then the others who won't look at the nuance jump on and agree with you.

I'm sorry you don't have the intelligence to understand both are correct, both are different data points and that the length does not matter for what I am saying. IT IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE IN THE WORLD period.

Without the nuance of additional variables, sure. But actually interpreting it well means it's not the most expensive in reality. You're taking a data point and ignoring every other bit if nuance. And you've resorted to name-calling. Have a good one, but you've proven to be a troll.

Haha please point out the name calling. Go back to playing your pokemon and leave the datasets to adults.
