Just get a plate flipper like I did. Flip the plate when you get close to the toll. Works wonders!
Be careful with that!
@@ActionKidExtra I don’t need to be careful with it. You can’t even notice that it flips.
Good information I had no idea there was any difference.
Glad it was helpful! There’s a big difference depending where you get the transponder from!
@@ActionKidExtra Mine is from the NYS Thruway I thought 💭 they all gave the same discounts. I should have suspected…Thanks AK
Interesting video A K. Thanks for the share.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Boy, that sounded confusingly expensive 💰💰💰 And wait until congestion pricing takes effect!
They make it confusing on purpose!
EZ Pass doesn't care where you live to get the "local" EZ Pass prices. I live in Texas, but my EZ Pass is based in Massachusetts, where I drive the most with it, usually flying in. I initially had a NJ EZ Pass, but closed it when I saw the $1/mo fee. Haha. No, the EZ Pass does not work in Texas, at least not yet. I have another tag for that.
When I drove in Texas, my Florida SunPass Pro didn’t work there. I signed up for a TxTag sticker in advance to pay for my tolls in the Houston area. Those $1/mo fees are sneaky!
I live in Manhattan and don’t drive very much anymore. These tolls are a lot. I know that congestion pricing has been put on hold, but I’m guessing that would be in addition to the tolls?? No wonder the whole thing has people losing their minds.
Yup, congestion pricing will be in addition to the tolls
Where are you? The wall behind you seems mad cool.
It is a cool wall
That's a lot of information to absorb, and I'll need a chart or table for visualization. 🤯😂You're a pro at making informative videos and breaking down the details to help people save money, and keep up the good work. 👍 I'm anticipating for driving videos. 😆 Thank you for sharing the helpful tips, AK! 🤗
Much appreciated, thanks for watching!
Interesting and informative, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Lol 😂! So many toll enforcement fines coming in the mail lately! Why all the plate readers$$$$ Then your DL gets cancelled for non payment! When you never knew you were being billed $$$!!!
good to know EZ Pass is a brand name and only works on certain tolls not all. Ik in my area they charge $1 a month admin fee regardless if you use it or not. rip off
EZ-Pass wherever EZ-Pass is accepted, but that doesn’t mean the toll rates are the same for everybody. I know the NY and MA EZ-Passes don’t charge any monthly fees. Florida SunPass Pro (which is interoperable with EZ-Pass) doesn’t have one either.
Informative and essential video for the drivers 😎Sounds a rip off🤔Thank you for sharing this comprahensive video A K🙂👍!!!
when governments like indiana sump off the tolls to cover other things and 5 percent only go to the road you are paying for
You’re welcome, thanks for watching!
Most things nowadays are a con job, which doesn't say much for humanity.
Wow very informative. I’m in NYC now but I still have and use my Massachusetts EZ-Pass!!! SMH…Guess I’ll be heading to Grand Central (I’m assuming you meant the Transit Museum Store) to pick one up!!!
Thanks A K👍🏾
Yup, definitely grab an MTA EZ-Pass from the Transit Museum in Grand Central if that’s the case! Massachusetts EZ-Pass gets charged the full rate for all tolls in the NYC area! At least NY and MA EZ-Passes don’t have any monthly fees.
For someone who doesn’t have ez pass , and just pays cash when going through tunnels, would you still recommend ez pass?
I would highly recommend it. Many toll plazas don’t have cash lanes anymore and are going all electronic. Otherwise you’ll be charged the higher toll-by-mail rates with expensive administrative fees.
@actionkidextra --- Which do I need to get full discounts (without fees) for driving in PA, DE, NJ, NY.
Get the EZ-Pass which benefits you the most. Each state should give you discounts for toll facilities when using their own EZ-Pass (some require residency to get the discounts - I know the MTA EZ-Pass for NY doesn’t require residency). PA charges a $3 annual fee, DE charges a $15 initial purchase fee (but not any monthly or annual fees), NJ charges a $1 monthly fee, Port Authority EZ-Pass charges a $1 monthly fee, and NY EZ-Passes don’t charge monthly or annual fees.
@@ActionKidExtra --- So no way to do NJ without monthly fees? Why does NY have three different passes? Does it matter which I get?
You are a public transportation guy. Oh wow, that is nice if you bought a car.
It Pays 💸 to watch The ActionKid ! 🐼
