I like and use them although I don't like the rates of the tolls on many of them. I certainly agree that the toll rates have gotten out of hand on most tolls roads. I like to get from point A to B as efficiently as possible. I have the EZ-Pass and like the expediency of using the EZ Pass lanes, especially the high speed EZ-Pass lanes on some toll roads.
Having said all of that, there are times that we'll take a secondary route for the sake of a change of scenery when we're not under any time constraints. As it is that DW and I are not yet retired, we don't always have the luxury of taking all the time we want to get to a destination or returning home. Someday...
