Maybe there should be a reminder on your reservation when you rent a car that there are tolls nearby and to bring quarters with you.

Charlie–I am pretty sure that NJ may lay claim to the king of the toll booth. I recall the Garden State Parkway. Seems every 5 miles there was a basket to toss in a few quarters!

Most of us in Southeastern Connecticut consider The Day to be a joke, so this assinine editorial is no surprise. I remember the long lines, traffic jams — and accidents — before the tolls ended, and we surely don’t want to go back to that.

Chris,
You should know the wonders of tolls, living in the Sunshine State. Heck, they even now have toll booths set up unattended to collect their bounty of quarters.
In Boston, we pay for the tunnels and the MassPike and when we head to NH we pay more. It’s a regional pastime.
You are mean-spirited to keep similar enjoyment from the folk in CT. I remember the joy of driving 10 miles and throwing a quarter into the collection bucket. CT must have had more toll booths per mile than any other state. Obviously, some in the state miss them.
