      Pointed this out to the mods recently and I could have used that link in my message.

    This seems like a step on the path towards better public transportation because that’s what the toll money is supposed to get used for. However, tolls are a bit regressive since it’s going to be the poorer people who opt not to pay, leaving richer people the ability to drive.
