If people don't want to pay the tolls, they don't have to take the turnpike. No one's forcing them to.

Found the boot licker. How about the turnpike commission release what all those fees are going to since they fired all the toll booth workers.

"Boot licker!"

 
You people have some bizarre brain damage when it comes to the turnpike. You aren't owed free / cheap roads everywhere. If you don't like what the product costs, don't buy it.

It's a road that bisects the whole state. It was also paid for by national funds. You know they same nation we pay taxes into. I just want the money we are paying in for gas taxes to actually pay for the roads. Second highest in the nation. But yea my priorities are fucked I reckon https://www.statista.com/statistics/509649/us-states-with-highest-gas-tax-and-prices/#:~:text=California%20has%20the%20highest%20tax,14%20U.S.%20cents%20in%202021.

Gas tax money doesn't go towards the turnpike. They're entirely separate from PennDOT.

Lol... imagine if the money COULD go towards things we use. Its ok bud boil that boot. I'm sure it'll get tender soon.

Do you rage out regularly about other things you can't afford?
 
The Turnpike is self-supporting. Your tax dollars don't go towards it. Quit crying about it already.
