More MTA tolling shenanigans reported


From Eyewitness News:

Cashless tolling seems like a win-win. Still in its infancy in our area, it has reduced traffic, commuting times, and vehicle emissions, making it good for the environment.

And it's already generating big bucks in profit for agencies that run it - like the MTA, which oversees E-Z Pass on bridges and tunnels in New York City.

But we're hearing from scores of consumers who are are saying it's a big loss for them after getting hit with fines in the thousands - facing collections - even after some say they've paid the tolls.

Transit and crossings should both be congestion priced real time based on previous two hours thru traffic. THen folks will stagger their work hours.

You need to see a doctor. Stupidity must hurt you.

Yet another reason to despise this trend, aside from the danger of ceaseless government surveillance and tracking.

>THen folks will stagger their work hours.

Bosses won't let em. It seems one of the main things people are taught in MBA programs is to enforce the 9-5 workday, no matter how illogical it is.

I thought these automated tolls were supposed to photigraph your license plate and send you a bill?
Shouldn't it do that first before commencing with the fines?
