Up here in DFW you can’t move without using a toll road. The NTTA is everywhere, and many place that you don’t know until the bills roll in...

You guys need to pull the plug on any politician that won’t get rid of those toll roads. And then demand them gone.

You already pay gas taxes for highway upkeep. Tell your leaders that’s what you want the money spent on, rather than mass transit rabbit holes.

If mass transit is a good idea, then taxes on tickets to ride should pay to support the system. If they can’t raise money in this manner, then the mass transit isn’t viable. Do away with it. Better yet, don’t build it in the first place.
