Mexico toll road discussion?

Since the roads wear out mostly due to the amount of traffic over them, could it be that there's no real incentive to lower rates? Maybe they're just biding their time until folks get good and sick of the congestion on/deterioration of cheaper routes-?

I have wondered and considered that. But if not enough people use the roads they collect very few tolls and cannot possibly make any money. It is my understanding that the companies who contract to build and run these roads have something like a 25 or 30 year contract - meaning the time they have to get any return on their investment in these roads is limited. I read the article on the IN road and they say they can't make money because fewer vehicles use the road - they are billions in debt and going bankrupt. I am not sure how any of this works but I do know it costs a lot of money to build and maintain roads. If tolls are supposed to pay for the roads and few people can afford or are willing to use these roads they will go broke. How do you get people to use the roads or buy any product you are selling? Price it according to what it is worth to the consumer. If the public does not use the road it could be that it is not worth it to them - which could mean they charge too much. And yes, I do wonder if more traffic would not mean more repairs. Seems there must be a better way.
