Virginia's HOT Lanes on I-495 will be collecting tolls the same way with
EZ-Pass

EZ Pass has been in NY/CT/NJ for a long time and it works well,
greatly reducing traffic back ups at toll booths, and eliminating a
certain number of government employees. What's not to like?

The cost of the tolls!

Hell, it costs a small fortune to pull a small trailer. The prices don't
double with twice the
axles, they quadruple!


Very correct. Costs $5 for a car or pickup to cross any of the San
Francisco bay bridges (except the Golden Gate, different bridge authority)
and $20 to tow my tandem axle boat trailer across the same bridge. My boat
and trailer weigh 1/2 my trucks weight.
