Default Theater of the absurd

Are there no doctoral candidates who can write a thesis on this man's $ 2.21 to establish it's relevance

No, there will be electricity tax then.

Toll roads is nothing more than another way state To tax and create career jobs (toll booth collectors and of course many many layers of management.) Even notice how toll road never get paid off or toll removed?

I was surprised to see that I was charged 3 times in 5 minutes for a total of $2.21.
That seems quite high for about 7 miles.

I tried a live chat, but it wouldn't allow my inquiry to be submitted.
I'll try to call them tomorrow to see if they have a malfunction with their new system.

So if you travel that way to Sanford Airport or I-4 check your account.
EZ pass is available in Florida for frequent travels gives added discounts were as Sun Pass does not. Also my EZ Pas works from Fl to Maine toll roads Sun Pass does not. E-PASS vs. SunPass: Which is better for drivers on Florida toll roads? - Orlando Sentinel

How (other than those odd-ball FL CFX toll roads which they charge a fortune in tolls) do you get your EZ-PASS to work here in FL? Do you have the new E-PASS (not EZ-PASS) that works on all FL toll roads called UNI ? EZ-PASS does not work on most FL roads, just those listed in their brochure (Ex. does NOT work on FL TPKE).

According to the link to the article it is the E-Pass.

I did which was how I posted the CORRECT information.

I am well aware of EZ-PASS, E-PASS and UNI and where they work. I have had all 3. The post I quoted stated "Also my (the poster, not me) EZ Pas(s) works from Fl to Maine toll roads......" THAT IS NOT TRUE. EZ-PASS does NOT work from FL to MAINE. EZ-PASS will work on some central Florida roads around Orlando but not the FL Tpke or any South Florida toll booths and will also not work in N. Carolina, S. Carolina or Georgia. The company who makes E-PASS (not the same as EZ-PASS) also makes a new tag called UNI and UNI can be used from Maine to Key West on ANY toll road on the east coast. The poster said EZ-PASS. So YES, I did read it, and NO EZ-PASS cannot be used from Maine to Florida unless they mean "Central Florida around Orlando" skipping all of Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. UNI, by the same folks as E-PASS (NOT EZ-PASS) can.

Good info, thanks. I had no idea there were so many options.

I have laughed all through the thread with so many great post! I hope a toll doesn’t begin on the “Sarasota-Siesta Key highway” as my $3000 a week vacation will increase by $4 with a new toll across the bridge. O well, might see the porpoises, or a shark or the pretty ladies in the boats. Lol now that is better then possibly seeing a bear! On the other hand, think of all the money your saving by not driving to the Smokies to see a bear!!!
