Thought I would share a shaking my head moment on how things can be a cluster $&@;… who’s in charge a complete and total bunch of idiots? Today in the mail I got a four dollar bill for crossing a bridge in Maryland. Photo of car is mine plate is mine I think what the hell, asked wife if she was in Maryland forgot she went on a weekend trip with some friends in October of 2020. Kind of slow processing I’d say. It gets better the bill came from a company in Austin Texas and the payment needs sent to a company in Philadelphia Pa. or it can be done online. It’s definitely not a scam. I thought Pa was bad for government incompetence but Maryland appears to right there with us!

I just got a bill for a toll in the onset of wuhan flu epidemic when they announced tolls would be waived. What was that about 16 months ago? And what happened to the waived part?

A few years ago, I received an Ez-pass notice in the mail from the State of Massachusetts that I was speeding though the I-90 toll plaza. Except it was a relative I had once loaned my car to, who insisted they were always careful with my car. :roll:

Never loaning it again.

All toll roads are a cluster fark. Pa would do better untolling all roads and bridges. Nj is the only state you have to pay to get out of. And you wonder why the covid response is so bad.

MA doesn't have a brain either. They sent us two bills for $.67 two months apart for the same day drive. A real money maker.

I used to get that in Florida with my sat truck after coming from the airport, I had no change of course and they wanted fifty cents to get on the highway, well I just started driving through from then on, they never did find me..

The whole thing pissed me off, maybe the locals knew they needed to carry change but not an out of towner

You did have one just east of the NY border on I-90 when I got that letter. ;)

most places are removing ALL the toll booths, you can't even pay in person or cash anymore. they just take a pic and bill you.
we got EZ pass years ago, just to be safe when we travel. tolls are a little cheaper with EZ pass.

i got a bill for one of my old plates, they must have misread it. i proved it wasn't my vehicle in the pic on the bill.

I have called NY EZ pass many times when they always know when I get off the the thruway but seem to not know when I get on, and just bill for the largest toll possible. They cannot answer why that is, very frustrating requiring so much phone time.

I haven't had to travel any of the thruway that is tolled since they got rid of the toll booths and went to the lane overhead readers. The short stretch on I-90 from Rt.88 to Rt.87 north is all I've used, and that part of the NYS Thruway has never had a toll. And I don't miss the traffic mess when the toll booths were still at the I-90 and RT.87 interchange. Now it's a lot faster to get though all that crazy lane-changing traffic.....even on a Friday afternoon.

Melissa has traveled down to Long Island a few times since and not had a problem with the ez-pass in her car.
