You are paying for the Big Dig, whether you use it or not. Unless you ride on it, you won't have to pay for the TTC.

The Massachusetts Turnpike was paid off several years ago.
The hacks at the Turnpike Authority went ahead and borrowed more money for infrastructure and whatever even though the Turnpike was debt free.
They effectively put themselves on the Authority into guaranteed for life jobs. There was no justification for the borrowing of more dough other than to keep the hackerama going.
Later, the Authority became the overseers of the "Big Dig" and we all know how that turned out.
The recently solvent Massachusetts Turnpike is now in the red for TWO BILLION dollars.
That is the sort of thing that you can look forward to.
Toll increases, and more tolls on previously built roads. Forever.
