“We should ban toll booths.”
Most of the “toll booths,” on the Veteran’s Expressway, at least, have been converted to overhead cameras that photograph your license plate. This is more of that automation that does away with jobs. On the other hand, traveling at the same speed for the entire trip, with no stops, certainly makes the trip quicker and more pleasant. Probably, a lot safer as well.
The Mass Pike(I90) got rid of the toll booths about a year or two ago. Now they just have camera that read your license or EZ Pass.
Not only is it safer but it eliminates the backup at the toll booths especially on major holiday weekends. I can remember sitting in my car for an extra half hour to go through the toll booth on the NY & Mass border going east or west on Thanksgiving weekend years ago.
