What's not to like? The cost of the tolls! Hell, it costs a small fortune to pull a small trailer. The prices don't double with twice the axles, they quadruple! |

Up here it's called the MacPass... probably because our two harbour bridges are named after local Scottish men who distinguished themselves in politics. I have one and we can zoom through any lane in the bridge approaches. They even discontinued the old 'token' system.. now it's either coins or the MacPass. BTW.. I hear this pass can also be used on our one & only 'toll road', the Cobequid Pass. |

Is the EZ Pass called the MacPass, or is a different pass required - one that's called the MacPass? |

They way the idiots in NY have the EZ-Pass only lanes you have to move all the way over to the right in order to go through them. Nothing like having the through traffic in the left lane slow down and move over to the right to go through the EZ-Pass only lanes and then all cross back over to the left lanes again. Just wait, EZ-Pass will catch on across the country and will be used to "tax" motorists on the Interstate high-way system first and then it will evolve to other roads. Still doesn't have anything to do with taxing by the mile. The poster that said that Washington actually pursued that and test implemented it was full of ****. http://www.terrapass.com/blog/posts/...tax-experiment You just can't stand being wrong.. Like I said before, I am glad you didn't raise me. I get smarter by not letting my ego get in the way... |
