toll gates, exorbitant rates, lotsa anger and much more....

I drive down the ECR pretty often and everytime i take the road i pay a toll of Rs 85 Recently i went to yealgiri where i passed three toll plazas and ended up paying Rs 145 and at each toll i was told that the pass that they give would do good for the whole distance... I was cheated and i dont even know if i can complain against this...
and then happens today, i take the OMR and end up paying Rs 30. What was painful was the fact that i hardly did 50 mts beyond the toll.

We pay road tax, vehicle tax and a plethora of other taxes...and we still pay to use these roads. As always private public partnership always works to the favor of the private company. The loser is always the tax payer who ends up paying toll for 15 odd years till the next company comes up and relays the road.
The government comes up with these skewed policies and theres pretty much nothing we can do about it. Sad.
I curse, make faces, take my own time paying...small useless protests against something i cannot change.
