I hate fees
I just noticed that ez-pass started charging me $1/month without any explanation. After an email and a phone-call, I now find out the MTA is implementing monthly $1 fees on EZ-pass card holders?
Why? I'm trying to use a technology that actually saves the MTA money. I pay the same price for a toll (it used to be discounted, but not anymore) and yet I'm charged a dollar extra. If anything, I'm a cheaper customer because they don't have to pay a tollbooth worker an hourly wage to accept my toll.
I hate these random fees that companies/organization tack on to your bill. Yeah, I dollar isn't much for me, but multiple that by 500,000 ez-pass users (guess) and you just started raking in 1/2 million more each month.
I hate you MTA! I never agreed to your damn fees, you just started charging me as if it was manifest density or something.

Wait, I thought you didn't have a car?
Anyway, I've been thinking about getting an ez-pass - over the past 8 days, I've hit ... probably 10 tolls. But since I don't go through any toll booths 10 months out of the year, I've decided against it.
and I swore I saw something about a discount while driving through NY or NJ

I don't have a car, but when I rent cars or go on road trips (a few times a year) I bring my ez-pass with me and leave the chumps in the dust.
Some tolls in NY/NJ have discounts, but not all.
