Think about it...isn't it kind of stupid to be charging tolls for
bridges and certain stretches of highway ?
There is a proposal for a $14 charge to cross the new Tappan Zee
Bridge across the Hudson river just north of NYC. Currently it is five
dollars. There are commuter discounts for people who cross every day and
local pols want to exempt other people too.
Crossing the bridge shouldn't be for just the wealthy, they say.
Roads and bridges are part of a network of transportation
infrastructure, except for certain ones under the control of an authority
with its own staff and bonding authority.
I understand why these things were set up. I understand its a way to
tax people in an alternative way. It's just silly I can drive to Binghamton
with no tolls but a similar to trip to Rochester involves tolls on
essentially identical public highways.
What if we set up a toll booth on the Court Street Bridge but not
the Pearl Street Bridge ? |
