I truly -- hokieman842 12/05/2017 3:09PM Just drive in it and declare yourself a sovereign citizen -- typed by ben 12/05/2017 4:26PM Giving up? There used to be many more toll roads and bridges. ** -- 48zip 12/05/2017 3:26PM Yea but they were not $40, I remember with the nickel bridge in Richmond -- hokieman842 12/06/2017 08:57AM Even I-95 had a toll when the Nickel Bridge was a nickel. ** -- 48zip 12/06/2017 10:56AM Yep I rembemer that, but they did away with it when the road was paid for. ** -- hokieman842 12/06/2017 11:09AM Nickel was also supposed to but, obviously, didn't. ** -- 48zip 12/06/2017 11:30AM But it is only for inside the Beltway correct? You can still use 66 -- hokieman842 12/05/2017 11:18AM FYI. 2 new toll lanes in each direction coming to I66 outside beltway -- Burke Hokie 12/05/2017 11:30AM Just inside the beltway during rush hour** -- TheNuke 12/05/2017 11:22AM Ok cool thanks, outside the beltway is hell enough when I have to go up -- hokieman842 12/05/2017 11:24AM So how far do you get to go for $32? Left NOVA for good in 94. ** -- HokieinTampa 12/05/2017 11:11AM 9 miles is the full length ** -- Burke Hokie 12/05/2017 11:12AM High of $40 today ** -- Nova Hokie 95 12/05/2017 11:01AM How much time does the $40 save? ** -- bigbadbird 12/05/2017 11:11AM VDoT usage stats from yesterday -- dans93 12/05/2017 11:26AM Only 37% rode for free as carpoolers. That's low -- TheNuke 12/05/2017 12:29PM Interesting -- wonder what's causing that -- Nova Hokie 95 12/05/2017 11:35AM I think the difference is that the HOV/HOT window is larger now -- jmanatVT 12/05/2017 12:23PM I'm sure enforcement plays a part -- Beerman 12/05/2017 11:41AM His post says it's comparing to a typical Monday morning ** -- Nova Hokie 95 12/05/2017 11:42AM It does -- Beerman 12/05/2017 11:48AM They did something similar to the HOV lanes in the 757 -- EDGEMAN 12/05/2017 10:57AM If I worked in the private sector, would ask my employer to either... -- EDGEMAN 12/05/2017 10:55AM 30-40 per day? that is $200 per week, or $10k per year, heck of a raise -- fordham 12/05/2017 11:44AM Double it because people commute morning and afternoons ** -- TheNuke 12/05/2017 4:19PM Other posts in this thread looks like afternoon is much cheaper -- fordham 12/05/2017 4:32PM There may be more people who work a compressed schedule now -- VTHokie2000 12/05/2017 4:53PM I told my client I will come in for mid-day meetings ... -- vt90 12/05/2017 11:18AM Pickup a slug at the Vienna metro ** -- TheNuke 12/05/2017 11:20AM That is also an option ... but if my client is ok with me working remotely -- vt90 12/05/2017 11:29AM Or, don't use I-66. Just like you didn't use it last Tuesday either ** -- Beerman 12/05/2017 11:08AM Eggsactly ** -- 48zip 12/05/2017 1:34PM It's a bait and switch; project was sold as being in the $9 range at peak ** -- BleedinOandM 12/05/2017 10:47AM Where do/did you see $9? Besides, it was sold as whatever price -- jmanatVT 12/05/2017 11:30AM Saw the $9 is today's Washington Post but you are right... -- BleedinOandM 12/05/2017 11:36AM Thanks, and kudos for the open mind.

Many people bought hybrids -- Burke Hokie 12/05/2017 11:24AM The hybrid exemption ended in 2011 -- Beerman 12/05/2017 11:51AM True. Those cars last a while though so many were still able to use it ** -- Burke Hokie 12/05/2017 12:01PM There were exemptions, yes -- Beerman 12/05/2017 10:56AM Yes, but that has been eliminated now ** -- Nova Hokie 95 12/05/2017 10:55AM How about flying cars? Can they escape the tolls? ** -- EDGEMAN 12/05/2017 10:58AM I got on at 9:05 and the toll was $24 then but I drove -- TheNuke 12/05/2017 10:08AM I can't speak to the quality of the pricing, but I'm not shocked -- jmanatVT 12/05/2017 10:12AM Yes, but in pushing the project through ... -- Nova Hokie 95 12/05/2017 09:54AM They will recalibrate -- Beerman 12/05/2017 10:12AM Yeah, the may recalibrate: but why not cap at $20 until better data? ** -- BleedinOandM 12/05/2017 10:50AM They adjust the tolls every 6 minutes based on volume -- jmanatVT 12/05/2017 11:23AM Should re-calibrate to whatever keeps the traffic low and flowing -- RTFC 12/05/2017 10:08AM How can you recalibrate the demand curve? If you lower prices -- jmanatVT 12/05/2017 10:06AM Per VDOT, Mondays are lighter, due to work-at-home jobs. ** -- 48zip 12/05/2017 1:36PM I wish that Handsome Al was still around to answer that -- TheNuke 12/05/2017 10:14AM Fall of '84. I was in that class. ** -- Late 80s Hokie 12/05/2017 11:31AM I usually went at 10am, but sometime would bring in beer -- TheNuke 12/05/2017 11:40AM Grain + grape soda in MacBryde. Bad idea w/ no windows. Trust me. -- 48zip 12/05/2017 2:04PM I'll have to check that out, lol ** -- jmanatVT 12/05/2017 10:15AM I lean towards that argument as well but devil's advocate is that it's a -- BG Hokie 12/05/2017 09:49AM I get that, I get the run it like a business argument, I get the influence -- jmanatVT 12/05/2017 10:15AM That's true when there is $0.00 debt. -- RTFC 12/05/2017 09:52AM And $0 maintenance costs ** -- jmanatVT 12/05/2017 10:09AM That maintenance money has been in the budget forever -- TheNuke 12/05/2017 10:19AM In the budget is not "already paid for". As to money leftover -- jmanatVT 12/05/2017 10:27AM +32.00 and keep raising it for those that want it. ** -- RTFC 12/05/2017 09:32AM A bottle of Buffalo Trace ** -- bigbadbird 12/05/2017 09:12AM I love it. It is like the government is a legal drug pusher. -- Coach McGuirk 12/05/2017 08:33AM Especially those of us not used to the traffic.
