And if you think E-ZPass is supposed to reduce collection expenses, check out this headline:
$7 Million in salary savings chalked up to E-ZPass. (Star Ledger, 12/20/00).
My 2¢ - The only problem is E-ZPass costs $488 million, which means it ADDS hundreds of millions of dollars to toll collection costs.
