The sad thing is that this fare hike is in your face, the fat cats are laughing all the way to the bank and there’s abosolutely nothing that you can do.

I’m a AAA member and my dues have not gone up, it’s great to have security if I get stuck by the job since I work 30 miles from my home, they may even loose membership since the toll hike may cause some not to be able to afford it.

I AGREE WITH AAA I SUPPORT THEM FULLY

AAA is doing a good job for the lawsuit, it is for the people especially us the poor drivers, the PA is greedy and misuse the fund, let us give all the support to AAA.

I am sure when the trade center is finished they will lower the toll back to where it was. ( NOT )

The tolls should be for road repair and operating expenses and NOT building One World Trade Center. That money should have been raised via bonds.
Judging from the condition of the roads- they aren’t using the money for road repair either.
This hike is excessive and truly at the expense of the working class.
There should be a protest day- just to show solidarity- where noone uses the crossings. – for what it is worth.

Why is it that CBS NBC ABC news divisions always interview the guy, always find and use the one interview out of thousands who is apathetic or just rambles on with some asinine comment “well what are we gonna do” “it is what it is” blah blah blah… I only wish I could be the guy they interview for a “comment”. 97% of the people want the tolls reduced not raised. It’s time to break-up ALL these corrupt political Authority’s. But just like in the economic holocaust the excuse is that “it was all legal”. Don’t worry folks these PIGS will get whats coming to them.

Everything is sooooooooo in your face these days! What has become of our society?? Unbelievable and to think we live in a society with laws to protect – Not! Welcome to the downgraded good ole USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So it cost more to drive the 1+ mile of tunnel than it does to drive the entire NJ Turnpike. Oppps better not give them any ideas.

THis is just padding the pockets of more NJ officials. I just say the pay stub of a 21 yr old who waves the traffic flags on the Tpk, he earns $51 per hour or $61 if he is driving a roller.

Of course the Port Authority objects – they are living large on OUR money…

Every vehicle that uses PA charged routes should go on a road holiday and not use any toll bridge or tunnel for a week. Let’s see the politicians scramble over that!
New York is a great place but I personally will not allow them to suck me dry!

Go AAA! Enough already with paying so much toll money for crossing into NYC. I hope AAA wins the lawsuit and the toll money drops so low as to match the NJ turn pike rates.

Tolls should be used only for transportation initiatives. This is exactly the same shell game the US pays with social security revenues. Enough is enough!

The AAA is spot on! Where are our politicians? Another reason for a big change in Nov 2012!

do not involve me with twin towers Bloomberg !! build ityourself!!!!!!!!
stop robbing my kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s the Metropolitan TRANSIT Authority, not Metropolitan REAL ESTATE Authority. They shouldn’t be in real estate in the first place.

Didn’t insurance money cover this?

Get the S.O.B’s. It’s legal robbery what the MTA is being “allowed to do” …but just becuz it’s legal doesn’t make it right. Every business, and theater in Manhattan should be screaming bloody murder…see something say something. welll we have a lot to say. Let your voices be heard! And where’s Bloomberg in all this, that’s what I’d like to know.

The toll hike especially for cash payers is CRAZY! I have never received a 50%
salary increase!!! How dare they use these monies for a private real estate project like the rebuilding of the World Trade Center projects. Now if they used the monies to rebuild the transportation hub at ground zero then that’s one thing but for office buildings. I take the Lincoln tunnel in daily (after usually 45 to 60 minutes in traffic) and the road appoaching the tunnel (495) is a mess and actually rattles when driving over the helix!

I dont think theres any other product or service or company that raises its prices 50% in less than 3 years, considering inflation rises yearly around 1-4% at most.

This is nothing less than criminal, since PA has complete monopoly on river crossings between NJ and NY, they can charge any price they want. What other business can hike up its prices 50% in 1 year and still expect to have the same number of customers?

The PA are bona fide criminals.

Go AAA! Glad I’m a member!

Why doesntt the MTA allow naming rights on the bridges and tunnels? I am sure a corporation would pay big bucks to have them name attached to them.
