"The most famous case is the Indiana Toll road 75-year lease that started back in 2006. During the first five years of control, the company in charge more than doubled the toll for five-axel trucks from $14 to $32. That same company has been buying up control of U.S. toll roads since 1999 and now controls 6 major U.S. roadways." 2018 article from TheTruckersReprot.co

    Seriouslyโ€ฆ a way around tolls? And adjustable toll rates at that? Craziness! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘

    Glad we donโ€™t have that problem here in the land where there are more cows than people.๐Ÿ˜€

    We don't have toll roads here but when I lived near Toronto, we had a toll highway there.

    Yes , driving around the Beltway (495) is a nightmare. I have driven that area many times and all those toll roads in Virgina stink. Just got a bill for using my camper Sprinter van on 95 South in Virginia ($248.00) because I was over the six foot rule.

    It is aggravating, all those tolls. Every time we visit that area I dread the tolls. I think we paid to cross a bridge once $15 somewhere in Stanton Island on our way to Brooklyn . We have very few tools here mostly in Florida. I feel your pain.

    That's funny was leaving MD last night and you used the famous EZPass lane by mistake coming back to VA๐Ÿ˜ฎ

    Seems to me a Spanish corporation owns the Indiana toll road. Adjustable rates during peak hours is a thing now. tHank you.
  • @pedrozatravel
    Toll roads are a con, they always go over the amount they were originally meant
  • @GosselinFarmsEdGosselin
    Thankfully, there are no till roads here, but they keep talking about building a new I-5 bridge and making it a toll bridge.. guess what, because they want a toll bridge, the voters won't give them the money to build it..
  • @MrChubbyHubby.
    "I own my house and land" oh yeah, stop paying your property taxes and tell me who owns what. And if you drive on that toll road, that someone's taxes paid to build, they will use more of your own money to arrest and prosecute you. American on American crime is a good way to phrase it, I knew there was a reason I hung out with you, oh that and you have a love of donuts that is rarely seen in this day and age. When you reach your donut destination, I want you to grab that first one and hold it high and exclaim, "this is my donut, there are many like it, and I want to eat them too!"

    Its all just a scam. Did you bring us some doughnuts? ๐Ÿฉ๐Ÿฉ
