@ bob roberts how is it other states have bridges but there’s no toll? Even the ones that do it’s a reasonable price. Not this absolute insane toll ( extortion is what it is) prices. Those are public roads and it’s actually illegal to charge people to use them.
This is not a story about how effective the system is in catching scofflaws. The fact that they were allowed to accumulate $68K worth of unpaid tolls tells you how INEFFECTIVE the system is.
What do they do with the $44 million dollars they collect? Does it cost that much too maintain the bridge? When the bridge was completed, it was said that the bridge would be free when the bridge building costs were paid. It cost 25 cents to cross and now $18. It's a way of continue to tax the working people. Taxes, fees, income; It doesn't stop. But, taxing the big conglomerates is a no-no. Taxing capital gains (money that is not worked for) is also a practice of this nation.
By the way, they do this for a corporation, the MTA is a corporation with a CEO, you can look that up. They do not do it for you. If a vehicle is stolen, people are kidnapped in a known vehicle, or something else that does not involve the MTA they do not scan for that. People steal cars everyday and take them back to Newark, NJ and there are ZERO stops of those vehicles.

They can’t fight real crimes
1:43 I need this as a clip of its own. The guy means business!
What a cash grab!!! crossing tolls..(no biggy) the fees and violation fees are insane!!! How dare NY charge $12-$20 to cross a road then the on top of it a $100 violation fee! If that’s not enough, we’re paying MTA cops top dollar to confiscate a car you can barely afford to insure, register and fill up just to get to work! Biggest crime is MTA, NYS DMV.
The amount of tolls i already paid i can buy one of those bridges. Tolls is a rip off. Everyone should stop paying 15 dollars toll.
All toll roads should be banned it’s ridiculous and a waste of infrastructure.
The legal purpose of driver's license is commercial in nature. If you're not participating in commerce on the public road you are not required to have a driver's license🙂The public roadways are free for everyone as a matter of rights📜 you don't need a driver's license, registration, insurance, inspection, or license plates to travel in your private automobile or any recreational/private way of traveling 🤔In law there's a clear distinction between Motor Vehicle and Automobile. LOOK UP Constitutional law 329 page 1135, Title 18 U.S.C. Section 31(a6), New York State Article 21 General Provision Section 21.05 #9 or in any STATE❗
Then a 10 year old kid can drive as long as it'd not commercial?
No wonder why people obstruct their license plates
Cheaper to buy another car than paying the tolls.
This isn’t entirely accurate… they’ve incurred fees that may total the amount f the MTA/ Port Authority
As long as we all pay, they should too
I hope they don't get a reduction deal
