I crossed the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge today. It cost me $15 to enter and $17 to exit. I had no idea it would be so expensive.

Driverless cars are going to be here soon, so cities and towns that are reliant on traffic ticket revenue will have to find new ways to steal your money.

New toll roads are probably the tip of the iceberg.

I live in Dallas/Fort Worth, and we've got a couple toll roads that were subsidized by private investors (mostly foreign companies)

The roads are toll roads only "to recoup the costs of building the roads" but I don't believe that, these tolls are gonna be here for a decade at least.

But you know what, these roads (like the 635 Expressway) are fantastic quality, the fairs are decently cheap, and there isn't usually traffic on them, so honestly I'm fine with it.

It's electronic toll tag only, so there's no stopping to pay cash. If you don't have a tag, they send you a bill in the mail

The tolls were originally proposed as the way to pay the bond holders back for the cost of building the bridge plus a handsome profit. And the high costs were justified back then by saying the tolls would stop once the bridge was paid off. But politicians just can't let go of free money. They decided to continue collecting the one way tolls after the bridge was paid off.

Private highways suck. Unless there is artificial pressure and penalties, those private companies will do the minimum necessary in order to maximize their profits. I'd be in favor of it though if all cars on the private highway were checked for valid tabs and valid current insurance and when possible, the face scan of the driver is computer database matched for driver identity in case of fugitive, warrants, or other problems. Then the police can be waiting at the exit to detain the suspect.

>>17331829
I would happily pay a large sum of money for a toll tag if it meant there would be fewer people on the highway.

God I hope that they'd make every highway a toll road. Cuckifornians get out of my town and stop clogging my roads REEEEE.

>>17332405
The issue is California currently pulls in 80 billion, spends 100 something billion, and with this 400billion dollar plan, will need to come up with 200 billion annually, the other 200 billion will come from the federal government, which just means California is dead weight. California is expecting to ovver double its spending, with a 15% tax increase.

>>17333836

serious answer:

CA's financial problems aren't welfare, if the state did away with Prop 13 it could easily pay for single payer healthcare (although in doing so they'd piss off so many homeowners the state would flip purple). The money drain is the unfunded pensions inside CalPERS, which Brown has tried to destroy for some time now but to little avail.

The only real big Federal cost in CA is the cost of arresting, detaining and deporting illegal immigrants but this issue exists due to Republican farmers who bribe Sheriffs, the sanctuary cities are just a symptom of the core issue (farmers being greedy).

I used to live in Japan. The expressways are all run by private companies. The government built them. then set up private companies to maintain them. all the expressways are toll roads. the company gets tolls and the government gets a cut. the company has to maintain the expressways. they also get to put in really awesome rest stops on the expressways. hot food, gas station, toilets, vending machines, and a convenience store.

yeah,, it cost like 60 US Dollars to take the expressways from Sagamihara to Narita. Though you get to travel faster than taking surface streets.

the expressways are well maintained, basically no police presence on them. as they usually just opt for photoradar. they are almost never clogged up to the point of being slower than surface streets.

I get that it was supposed to be symbolic, methaphorical, and allegorical. yet it is just a stupid concept. society would collapse because skilled labor would be impossible to come by in sufficient numbers. as all your workers die off before they can master their craft and train the next generation.

>>17335391
I agree the movie is stupid, but the toll system is going to get more money than just regular taxes and the fucked up part is the private companies will barely spend any of that money on maintenance, I don't usually believe the government is the answer for anything, but when it comes to public infrastructure, the government should be the ones to make the decision, not private companies
