Facial recognition. What a joke. Why I thought NYC was so safe right? Of course they will reassign the toll wokers for now
The 513 toll booth workers and agents employed by MTA Bridges and Tunnels have been reassigned to work under state police's enforcement division.
I'm trying to figure out how this saves NYS any money, they are not reducing the "bloated government workforce" by doing this.
Could they be getting ready to use them to assist the NYSP in the Pistol Permit Re-certification program? IDK
Just wait until they see how well this works, then they will deploy it to routes that get heavily used, but aren't currently "tolled". Can ya' say I-290, or perhaps the Skyway, maybe along I-81, or I-86. I can see him do it under some type of "Letter of Necessity" type thing.
REMEMBER.... this is NYS, and they have NEVER, EVER seen a tax or fee they didn't like. Besides, something has to happen to make up for the lost "revenue" of the 191k population loss NYS suffered!

So much for our forefathers kicking the British ass back in the day 
They don't actually send you a bill in the mail they only send overdue notices with hefty fines to your address in the mail!
Cross the Tappan Zee bridge you will eventually receive five dollar toll five dollar administration fee and a $25 fine and that's per crossing

Yeah, then for many that can't send outgoing mail in NYC have to drive to the fucking post office to send in the bill. How convenient. The queer pride lights were necessary too. Fuck you andrew.

LOL, not to worry. In a few years tolls will go away all together. they will be replaced with a "highway use tax" that everyone will be paying. they will track you through GPS or your 'black box' (electronic control module) in your vehicle when you get your inspection (use the computer plug in to determine milage) and charge you accordingly.
Truck drivers and us in the service industry are going to get pounded by these "use taxes" ~~~ the price of everything is going to go up

"The cashless system is part of the Democrat's New York Crossings Project, which will also bring color LED lights to all Metropolitan Transportation Authority bridges as well as driver facial recognition cameras."
Damn computer has the date wrong. Should be 12/22/84.

Andy needs a facial
That use tax is supposed to be collected already. Our state gas tax is the 3rd highest in the nation at 43.4 cents per gallon. It's 42.9 cents per gallon for diesel, which is also 3rd in the nation.

NYC is really a giant cesspool. Sorry to anyone living there but I just can't see anything good about it. It's a communist/socialist dictatorship full of corruption. And the rest of ny isn't far behind.

This toll-less system is a dry run for the tolls soon to pop up on the Queensboro, Williamsburg and Brooklyn Bridges.

the "Gas tax" will go away if they switch to a highway use tax. AND it will switch to a highway use tax eventually because more and more cars are getting better gas milage, therefore they use less gas....less gas, less money for the corrupters.

It will also be implemented on the small bridges that connect Manhattan to the Bronx. Bridges like the one at Fordham Rd, Broadway up by 225th St, the Macombs Dam Bridge, and a few others. Prepare to be fucked in a bunch more ways.

I've paid the toll over the Tappan Zee, straight $5. I'm Ok with that program because it eases congestion and that reduces pollution and allows me to travel quicker. But, Why do they need facial recognition?!?!?
Oh, boy... NYS has figured out yet another way to fuck everybody! Way to go NY, just one more reason PRODUCTIVE people will be fleeing your state in droves! But that's O.K., I'm sure there will be more bottom-dwellers ready to move to NY, and jump on the broken social programs!!
