Transponder. Saves money as opposed to manual payment at a toll booth. It's almost double the rate using the manual toll booths.

There is only one toll bridge in my city and cash is the only option. I rarely take it and whenever I have the chance I drive out of my way to avoid it just out of principle. I don't think there should be a toll to use that bridge.

Florida must be the toll road capital of the country.They plan on raising the prices this month. I have a transponder when I have to use the toll roads. You get some discount when using the transponder. I have my GPS set to avod toll roads.

Connecticut is toll free because they kill us with gas tax. Thanks governor! When we cross the border into NY, NJ or MA, tolls come fast! I pay at the booth.

The only toll road I know of in Ontario is Hwy 407, which I avoid because a) the tolls are very high and b) it was meant to be a Hwy 401 bypass with tolls only for the first decade or so to pay for construction of the highway but was instead leased to a private consortium of companies for 99 friggin years to balance the provincial budget. Thankfully I live nowhere near it, so boycotting it should be easy.

I've never paid a toll because there are no toll roads in Los Angeles County, but there are some in Orange County.

When it comes to the great pa turnpike
Its not worth the price it should be free
Wile under construction what a mess and unpredictable
You would think one road at a time
There is no were to go when everyone
Is there already

I don't travel on any toll roads here in ON. The only one here is the 407 & at $1000/km (slight exaggeration, but not much) I keep clear of it.

When I cross the border at Buffalo to go to FL I drive the I-90 toll highway about 70 miles from Buffalo to the PA line & it costs around $3. Then there is another toll area on I-77 in WV which costs about $2. So unless I'm driving to FL I'm 100% toll free.

That was in 1947. I was short so I gave the attendant 3 cents and a bottle of Coke.

We don't have tool booths in Missouri because we don't have toll roads. But I did have to pay at the booth on a recent trip Oklahoma.

Prepaid pass. They're cheaper than the transponder if you buy the passes 20+ at a time. Strange.
