Fuck VA they make up laws as they see fit...

All commonwealth states do this and that is why I very rarely go to any commonwealth state.

The point of those lanes is allow people to pay for an option to bypass traffic. When the toll prices are low, those lanes are just as congested as the regular lanes. It does seem fucked up, but I'm not really sure how else you would free them up. And believe me, some people would gladly pay $30 to cut an hour of sitting off their commute.

Saw on the news somewhere that this is getting popular and may become typical under the Trump administration. .....

More private companies involved = higher tolls

When my girl lived up in Rockville, MD I hated going up there due to the traffic. Sucks, but there's times when I was up there that I would've paid it.

I work out in VA...i don't do shit else...hop on and off that train then get the fuck outta that state...

 

[The Lonious Monk]

I liked living in Alexandria. I'd still be there if the housing wasn't so expensive. Of course I didn't have to get on the freeway to get to work, so that helped.

Imma need someone to explain the difference because I looked up differences in Commonwealths vs states besides the name and there are none

No difference. ...

VA was founded when commonwealth was used more than state....

It's happening everwhere.....

 

[dalyricalbandit]

got damn!!!!

 

[CottonCitySlim]

They can't even enforce those lanes because it's a private company and not the DMV

But if it's over 8 dollars I'll ride with everyone else

This could get tricky if it keeps expanding.....

believe me they are getting better with trying to collect from violators i seen the difference between one coworker who had 500$ in lane violations get tossed out along with 20 other people and 5 months later a second coworker didnt get off. Their lawyers are getting smarter after the class action law suit

Yeah and they be fucking over folks too.

I remember when that shit opened and folks thought they ez pass was going through and it wasn't then the next thing you know folks was getting bills for like a couple of grand.

Then Va was like "nah niggas that's them foreign mf's lanes take it up with them" and the people that run that shit in based in something like Australia or something.

But I rather sit in traffic in my own car then be packed like some sardines on that metro.

When you don't tax you got to find money somewhere. Excessive fines and tolls are going to spring up all over the place in an attempt to generate money either for the gov't or whatever private entity gets involved.

 

[mrrealone]

It would be time for me to consider other options. That don't make sense at all.....
