Ex-Tollway Users Comment
Take a look at these comments, which were under the article about Jim Tobin’s court suit against the Toll Tax hike:
Cindy says:
This was a really stupid move.
I don’t know anyone that uses the tollway anymore.
People cannot afford this robbery. Now they get ZERO dollars because they got greedy.
Traffic jam before the Toll Tax hike. The sign says, "Open Road Tolling." That seems to be more true now than before the 88% hike in tolls.
Jim says:
I always listen to the traffic report and the old “20-30 minute travel times” are now “traffic is flowing nicely.”
They basically took away our roads away from us by increasing the costs.
With the insanely high gas tax one would think that there would be sufficient funds there to fill a non-corrupt budget.
I guess the corruption needs some serious cash!
As I drove to Schaumburg Thursday afternoon, I was glad to use Route 62 and not the Tollway.
Same thing, coming home.
From Route 62 and Hwy. 53, it would have been easy to hop on the Tollway and take it west to Huntley.
Instead, I enjoyed Route 62 westbound and got home in mid-evening with no hassle and no tolls.
