| These effin ass-f's are gonna make us all buy into they're scheme to F the S out of our A's if it kills them.
No more effin tokens? Why the F not?
Maybe because some of us aren't as effin stupid as you thought. Maybe because your effin genius plan doesn't work for S. Maybe because you've been losing money ever since the system was installed. Maybe you're just a bunch of ass-f's that should get the F off the parkway.
FU and, F your sister too.

| They want to keep track of everyone.
I was Christmas shopping with a friend, and she wrote out a check. The girl typed my friend's license # into the cash register and it knew who she was! A cash register!
"They" don't need to keep this much track of us.
Or else I could just be paranoid again. :)

| It still baffles me that you have to pay money to drive on a road... You need to see the light and join us left coasters! Drive on the open roads without a pocket full of change or tokens!!
Thanks, Barch for my hat! :)

| Alright, look... as much as I appreciate a good burn once in a while... Marijuana and driving just don't mix. Especially on the parkway. Next time I get behind one of you stoners going 4 mph in the left lane there's gonna be trouble. :)

| Actually, kindredbabe, I prefer to pay the tolls. This way the road is paid for by the people that use it.
If there were no tolls, the road would be financed by taxes. In this case NJ state tax. So, everyone in NJ would pay for the parkway whether they use it or not or, even know that they're paying fo it. And, all the people from PA, NY and, DE that use the road regularly would get a free ride.
So what? right? we drive on their roads for free... Well I say F them. Do they have any roads that are as smooth clean and scenic as the GSP? I submit that they do not.
Anyway, the point is... It's very similar to our public school system. Everyone pays so everyone gets a say in how money is spent. Sucks for schools sucks even more for roads.
If the state takes over full control of the parkway, how often ya think it's going to be repaved? How many new entrance/exit ramps are ever going to be built? How much garbage is going to pile up on the shoulders? To answer these questions one needs look no further than Rt.9 or the turnpike. Pleasure to drive on those roads, ain't it?
So, you just keep your perfect little california "we all drive for free" crap to yourself. :P

Since we can fit about 5 NJ's in California, we don't have the problem of out-of-state people congesting our roadway's (illegal mexican's do not count). So, the majority of people on the roadway are Californian's. We pay the taxes for the roads we use. The highways I travel on are in good condition and we're getting new on/off ramps throughout town this year... It beats keeping tokens/change on hand whenever I steal the SU mobile........ ;)
Thanks, Barch for my hat! :)

Yeah, that's funny. When was the last time any candidate for governer didn't promise to get rid of tolls and lower insurance rates?
At least McGreevey promised it would be done long after his term was up. That other nimrod wanted to get rid of the tolls by April.

| Well with this new budget short fall coming, thanks to that scumbag DiFrancisco not helping matters, the states going to need all the money it can get.
I actually liked Whitman but after that jackass she has as Lt. Govenor took over for her this states on another down turn unless McGreevey can stop all that money DiFranciscoo shelled out.

| If you think McGreedy is gonna stop the flow of money, you need to kick the drugs. That communist fuck is gonna do damage to the NJ economy for decades if he has his way. As for EZ-Pass, I have used it for over 3 years, for NY bridges, and ever since it was for the parkway and turnpike. I understand how you all get pissed because we fly by you and go right through. Especially you mental fucking midgets who try and block us from getting to the ez-pass by crossing 3 lanes to get to the other sides cash lane. I can't tell you how many dents I have left in your fucking cars playing that game. Fuck you all.

| Back to the topic:
What's wrong with EZ Pass? I think it's the greatest invention ever, not only do you not have to wait in line while people are searching for tokens but you get a discount on the toll. It makes life so much easier. I don't see why you wouldn't have one.

| Yeah, it all sounds fine. But, I just have my doubts about any "prepay" system.
Why doesn't the windshield mounted tracking device have an odometer-like display to let you know how much you've spent? Are we supposed to trust then to bill us correctly? or, are we supposed to keep track of how much we pay ourselves? or, just trust them with our credit card/bank account info?
It really wasn't that long ago that this system was implimented on the GSP. And, it's already losing money. It's a flawed system. It doesn't work. How do you possibly make any proffit by collecting a toll at the same rate or, less than it was collected before you (EZ-Pass) were hired to collect it?
That's right. You make money on FINES. This is really nothing new. Cities have been using this profitable method for decades in the form of parking meters. Yeah, you thought they got rich charging you a quarter to park for a half hour in seaside. Nuh uh... It cost FAR more than it's worth to collect the quarters from the meters. The money is in the fines.
So, your budy/your pal EZ-Pass wants you to F up so they can fine you.
Another method they use for keeping their overhead down is hiring cheap labor. You think the mindless idiot making minumum wage really gives a S if he/she misplaces a decimal piont on your bill? Guess again. We all saw what the result of this revenue generator did for the airlines. And, now they've already got your money. It's up to you to prove that they owe you a refund.

| A digital readout, would cost a mega butt ton more. As it is, no batteries are required. I had one of those things maintenance free for over 2 years. When I changed cars, I had to get a license plate mounted one. If you are that concerned, you keep track of your trips. As for fines, I have had EZ-Pass over 3 years, and have never been fined. I never exceed double the ezpass speed limit, and never get tickets. I have never had a billing issue, and I probably put about $120 a month through the pass. My best part however is my company pays for it, so I don't even see a bill. They even pay for my personal use. Anyway... Later Daze

Well, in this particular arguement your opinion is completely irrelivant. You're not taking any chances. Your employer is assuming all the risk. Go get one that charges "you". Then come on back and tell me how great it is.

Tokens are a "prepay" system, aren't they. You have to buy them before you can use them.

The bill they send you at the end of every month has every toll you have gone through. There's no way they can charge you for tolls you haven't gone through. If you don't want them to have your credit info. you can always use cash to get an EZ Pass.
I don't see how anyone can possibly have anything against EZ Pass. It works. I really don't care if the state or the company that runs it is making money as long as it makes my life easier.

yeah, and it's really likely that I'll get ripped off buying tokens. Well, I guess not at all likely 'cause after today, I can't buy them anymore.quote:

and, you're sure you went through all the tolls on your bill how? And, that's what I meant byquote:

as long as everything goes as planned. There's will never be a problem. But, what happens when someone or something makes a mistake? It's not like they send you a bill $2,000.00 instead of $200.00. They've already charged you $2,000.00 and now you gotta chase them down and get you $1,800.00 back. Good effin Luck.
Look, I'm not saying everyone that uses EZ-Pass is going to get screwed. I'm just saying that there is the potential to get screwed. And, they're holding all the money.
Try giving them a call sometime. See, how long it takes to get a person on the phone.
btw...
Anyone ever been overcharged by a credit card (not neccessarily EZ-Pass but, any overcharge)? Real easy to get your money back, ain't it?

| You should also keep in mind that you can get discounts with EZ pass during high traffic times in some areas.
I believe in the Faith... that can save me.
I believe in the hope and I pray...
That someday it may raise me... above these badlands |
