Don’t forget that PikePass is generally less than half PlatePay.

I actually bypass tolls on my gps just so I don't have to pay the tolls. Unfortunately it cost me more in gas, so it's an even wash.
They also got rid of the toll booths and “people’s jobs” and automated with your c.c. On file. If no c.c. On file, you get charged $5 to mail you a bill for the toll to use the road. Where is all that money going??? Why not use that to pay for the roads.
During the Mid 1970s, Lifeguards who worked on the Beaches in Jones Beach State Park on Long Island, NY went on Strike because they were paid lower than minimum wages or their associates working at lakes, pools or other beaches along the coast, and their job required a rigorous qualification process that had to be endured each year before hiring during Spring when the water was between 49*F to 53*F.; and variable currents, rip currents, sea pusses, unpredictable surf conditions made the work dangerous as well as difficult to endure. The number of actual rescues they performed each Summer was impressive.
NY State raised the price for tolls that served the beaches that year to perhaps $3.50 per vehicle. Some Summer days the tolls collected fees from close to (1) million vehicles. I remember seeing State officials describing on the News how they couldn’t afford to pay the modest demands made by the Lifeguards. In the absence of water safety personnel, State Police were assigned to keep people out of the water, and toll collections dropped to a fraction of their usual When a Reporter asked why? (in consideration of the anticipated increased revenues being collected from the Tolls), the Official replied, “….these funds were already appropriated for other state budgets.” The idiot either didn’t relate the critical roll the Lifeguards played, or was too eaten up with hubris to admit it…..
I’m beginning to think that some of you fellows just like to complain.
That’s only for PlatePay. You can have a PikePass without having a credit card on file and they don’t charge you anything extra over having a card on file.
Another problem is when you have private organizations using state powers for eminent domain, forcing expensive bonds on the people, and apparently raising tolls also. And the state freely hands over all those powers...
