A million dollars in repairs can go a long way.
Follow the money.
Tom - I agree with you often, but I think your approach is a little simplistic. It takes a little longer for a gate to open when a driver has to stop and present a card to open it. That amount of time gives a cart driver the chance to make a decision about going or waiting for the car. My reflexes are slowing and I really like that extra second or two.
