What these companies are finding is that people will pay for a quicker trip. People will plan it into their expenses in the same way that they plan gas, insurance, and repair costs. The reason drivers are willing to pay for a toll road and reluctant to pay higher taxes for road upgrades is that with the toll road, they see the immediate benefit. “If I pay $5.50, I can get home an hour and a half sooner than if I don't.” With the money earned, the company can pay for the construction of the roads, pay the government, and also make a profit. What is yet to be seen is whether this reduces traffic for the non-paying drivers or merely allows the rich a way out of what was previously assumed to be a shared problem.
