It sounds like tolls are coming to the Triangle.
Just great.
And I thought my move from Florida meant I would be toll-free for good.
Guess I’d better enjoy it now.
And you’d better enjoy it as well.I have some experience with tolls and it isn’t good. Traffic will worsen, as folks will need to slow down to search for change, and it will come to a complete stop when they tell the toll-worker that they don’t have enough change to cover the toll.
But if North Carolina takes a page from Florida’s book, they’ll create a pass you can buy for $35, load it up in advance with your hard-earned money and zip through a “special” lane. They'll even notify you when your "balance is low." (How thoughtful!)
And believe it or not, you’ll eventually be “grateful” for the opportunity to purchase this pass.
That’s how it works.
Give us an inconvenience, and then try to soften the blow with some new gadget to make the inconvenience, not so inconvenient.
Too bad for us. It works every time.
