$30 Toll to Use Express Lanes

As opposed the the situation without any express lanes, where everybody is crammed into slower roads, made even worse because none of that traffic is diverting to express lanes? Everybody is worse off, but hey, at least it's fair.

Many states actually build highways for their citizens without needing to charge $30 tolls.

We also don't allow our fire departments to price-gouge.

We have large non-toll highways following the same route already.

I don't get the comparison to fire departments. This isn't a safety issue.
