    The stupidest part to me is that toll roads work this way and are wildly popular with conservatives. They’re just angry it’s a public thing and that it’s for public transportation support and not to make some private company money.

      This is always the case

      Thing is…this is just another toll. It bills you the same as all the other tolls in the city. They just gave it a different name. That’s it. In the first days, people were bitching because they took the trains and the busses, but everyone who isn’t an asshole (those of us who don’t drive) didn’t even realize it took effect and everyone was like “woah, what’s going on? Is it a holiday? It was so quiet on my way to work. It was awesome.”

      But these motherfuckers
