Riding it end to end costs you $5.60; commuting into the city from the suburbs costs $2.00, or more, each way. All those tolls really add up -- the average commuter spends $1000.00 per year on tolls -- but it's either that or keep our massive highway construction projects under budget.

I signed it "Mariah Carey," because I figured she can afford the extra dollar. lmao... have to try that on my next trip to PA. god the fact they cashed the check almost made me choke on my drink ... next time a warning pls jamotto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
