Motorcyclists to pay toll?

[Maha]

times two bucks each is about ten grand? Er, isnt that rather small in the big scheme of things?

Yes it is but I dont set the rules, or change them.

I've used the tunnel twice - both in the same night, and both times after 10pm when there was negligible traffic on either road.

I enjoy the other alternatives, it just sucks going up SH1 and getting stuck behind people who can't even maintain the 80kph speed limit along that stretch of road.

I think they should be paying us and thanking us for using bikes which not only do a lot less damage to the roads but cause less congestion as well! Wankers

The zero toll for motorcyclists is under review. operational cost of collecting payments is 52% of the total reveue and the operators are looking for ways to cut that figure.

an easier way to reduce costs would be to stop collecting the tolls altogether

the govt is always looking for new ways to tax people and to expand the civil service, they should look at cutting red tape and reducing the cost of supplying non essential services and removing a lot of the layers of civil service

unfortunately the civil servants have a vested interest in creating more lucrative layers of administration to provide them with secure well paid employment

Did you ever see an old British TV series called "Yes Minister"- that was basically Humphries job!

5251 bikes (so its more than a few) at the time the article was printed.

They must be scooters....oh and Harleys as SH 16 has too many bends...

Still at $4 a pop is it economic

I developed this dislike of the AA when they enthusiastically joined the LTSA ID Card system.

.

The AA are a pack of wankers.
You just have to look at their "Erections" magazine - most of their advertisers are selling electric wheelchairs,stair climbers and magnetic blankets.This tells you who their members are.

The toll system already recognises motorbike number plates. New cameras aren't needed.

The AA are hilarious. They're not happy that some motorists are paying they want all to pay. They don't understand that many who own bikes own cars.

And when Margeret Thatcher was asked by the Chinese premiere "Surely that's not how the British Government works?" she replied "Yeah, that's about right." (or words to that affect).
