You are a moron.[/quote]

As someone who takes the 66 toll road partway once a week, this was not a bad solution.

Before it was tolled, you couldn’t take it, period. Now you can take it but pay.  Usually about $5 for my commute and under $10 the whole way in during peak rush hour. Usually less than $1 to cut a half hour off my evening commute by taking 66 to 267. I’ll pay the $6 to cut an hour off my commute,  I would spend at least half of that in extra gas.   Especially since it’s not every day.  I now have a choice as a consumer that I didn’t have before. Since when did Republicans hate the free market economy. Because rolling based on volume is free market in action.  The toll literally moved based on supply and demand.

Much as we may wish NOVA had better planning 30 up years ago, that ship has sailed. 66 can’t hold the fUll DC commuter traffic. It couldn’t hold the traffic if the lanes were doubled.  They need a mechanism to give more access, but not create the worst gridlock in the nation.

Find a better solution. Until the, Om glad I have the chance to save an hour by spending $6. If it wasn’t worth it, I would do what I did for the prior decade when there was zero access without HOV and sit in a parking lot on 50.
