I recently drove my 911 to the Poconos in PA. I got a EZ Pass for the trip. It is a stupid system, to have to slow to 15 MPH or less to go through the gate in insane.

Oklahoma had one of the very first systems for paying the toll called the PikePass. Before the EZ Pass was started we had the PikePass. It was box much like the EZ Pass, in the beginning. Yet we roll through at full speed, 70 or 75 depending on the turnpike. Now they just read the tag, if you have the account, it is a big discount, and still roll through at full speed, for everyone. The non account people just pay a higher rate.

When I set up my EZ Pass I used a credit card of course. I sent it back over a month ago, and canceled that account. I still have not received my "escrow" money back. When I set one up for Florida for their system, they refunded my balance right away.
