OH is a steal compared to the PA anymore. As I said elsewhere, cash fare is about .15 smile for the PA... nothing else comes close
I used to date a girl back in the 80’s that worked for a pay phone rental company.
not only is the business long gone so is the building..
The emergency phones along I-95 here in MA are long gone.
As a kid i’d kill the time by counting them as we drove by.
Here in MA cost per mile is outrageous compared to the national average and PA is worse?
WOW
I-68 through Western Maryland to I-79 in Morgantown has become a popular alternative from D.C. and Baltimore. No tolls on any of that.
I've seen the sign for that highway when I'm on I-70 but when I tried to plot a course using it the entire trip would add over 100 miles and the resulting time increase, plus some of the highways looked as if they were small 55 MPH roads that would add even more time.
The Pennsylvania Turnpike has been making using the Turnpike less and less utilitarian. They started by taking out rest stops years ago. A tired truck driver now has to continue for long distances when the rest stops provided a place to pull over when he felt sleepy. Now they are taking out public telephones. The Pennsylvania Turnpike is becoming a less friendly environment for travel. I do not know who is responsible for these changes, but it is not smart.
about .15 a mile, and going up again January 1
Oh, i thought you were talking about cost/mile in road maintenance..
“According to the study, Massachusetts spent an average of $675,939 per state-controlled mile — a figure exceeded by only Florida and New Jersey.
The national average in 2013 was $160,997 per state-controlled mile. The costs typically include capital and bridge spending, maintenance expenditures and administrative costs.”
