Get real, Massachusetts! There are some folks who don't need EZPass or don't want EZPass. Just another way for the government to get into our lives....Grrr.
This isn't just in Mass. We have it here on some of our tunnels, you can either pre-pay with EZpass or it'll scan you license plate and send you a bill. They advertised and let everyone know in advance what the fees would be at different times of the day and if you don't have the ezpay. I opted for the ezpay because I go across it about once a month but I don't have it set up on the auto refil because I don't use it that often. I just go up and check it every once in a while. When my daughter got her bill for the tunnel (she does not have ezpay) it was just under $5 but said if she didn't pay it by the end of the month it would be 25 late fee.
