Did you know the toll takers on the San Fran area bridges receive $27 per hour? How much do you make?
There is great news for the public and terrible news for the union that takes the bribes for these toll takers.
"On Thursday, a subcommittee of the bridge district will vote on a proposal to lay off the 32 toll workers and embrace all-electronic payments. If approved, the system would debut by February 2012 and be fully implemented by the end of that year."
How well will this work for the drivers and global warming?
"All-electronic tolling on the Golden Gate Bridge would speed up commutes and save the transit district money.
6-8 seconds Average duration of cash transactions on bridge
0-1 seconds Average duration of FasTrak transactions
20 minutes Average weekday delay at toll plaza before FasTrak was introduced in 2000
0-5 minutes Average weekday delay now"
Still love unions?
