"That bastard cut me off!" It happens all the time -- but now, plastic barricades at the Bay Bridge toll plaza will keep cash-paying drivers from darting into the FasTrak lanes.
Because people vote for politicians that don't represent them at all. Many will say anything to get elected, but once elected will turn around and do the opposite. If even half the money that is supposed to go to road repairs actually went to road repairs California would be covered in freshly paved roads.
TheSilentGamers or get rid of the California drivers and deport them to Arizona there no more room for more California to have people move to California.
A much better way of improving traffic flow across the bridges is to do away with the toll booths altogether , toll roads are just a way of bleeding driver dry of their cash !!
Toll systems: Roads managed by tax paid government employees that are already paid for by Tax Producers to get more money from Tax Producers for tax paid government employees.
this video is almost 10 years old and I am pretty sure people have realized it by now. their true intentions for them wanting people to get fast track is so that they can monitor them and send them speeding tickets. my state started doing this a few years ago. the ones who have EZ pass have started getting speeding tickets in the mail because the average speed they were traveling at was faster then the speed limit from one point to another.
It just another ripoff to the people of California! California is so over tax and regulated that my job decided to move to Nevada a few months ago. Glad they ask me to move with them!
Yeah, honestly. They are taking advantage of the "fast-paced" mindset many people have. Like you said, if you step back and view it, it only takes 30 seconds out of your trip...
What they are doing is slowing the other lanes to make fast track work. Though the bridge build cost may have been made 3 times over, maintenance and upgrade costs are high and will be ongoing for the life of the bridge.
If EVERYONE gets fast track then it will ONLY be as fast as EVERY highway during rush hour and we know how “fast” that is. It’s the same dumb idea as HOV, because if everyone starts using it then suddenly all the “clogged” lanes become free while the HOV lane becomes clogged. All these things are a perceived advantage until enough people use it.
But, as more people get fast track the flow rate will decrease assuming the same number of people are travelling the bridge. I guess the government doesn't want to make that too obvious.
paying tolls is the biggest scam we already pay taxes to fix bridge and build them so why are we still.payibg to drive on them while we pay taxes every year to maintain these briges ? scam!!!
Before the toll for FT users: One lane splits into multiple (5 toll booths) After the metering lights for the FT users: Five lanes will merge back into one lane
Yeh, unfortunately you are talking what we say is....Shite. Its paid for by the poor souls like me who put billions into the exchecker by road fund license, VAT on fuel, VAT when you buy a car, MOT divvy and few others. But don't let the truth get in the way of your 'England pays for Scotland ' bullshit.
1:13 THANKS FOR THE LOUD BEEP!!! I HAD EAR BUDS IN AND THIS KILLED MY EARDRUMS CAUSE YOU HAD THE SPEAKER SO SOFT I TURNED IT UP AND THE BEEP WAS WAY TO LOUD
here in wisconsin i dont see any tolls at all when go outta state still no tolls i think wisconsin have loads of money to pay the bridges and other stuff but other states i dont know if have tolls sept some people said thay have tolls in there state
They HAVE to collect the bridge tolls, in order to -a- Pay The Toll Takers their Fat Union Wages, -b- Maintain the Toll Booths, -c- Build the FastTrack Organization with New Computer Systems, Back-Ups, Fastrack Media Distribution and Web Support, -d- Support the Multiple Levels of Management over the Government Workers at the Bridge.
It's bullshit. That's just not right. Just not right. Some of us don't have to cross enough to bother paying ahead of time and we still need to hurry to out destination.
it's a all well and good until someone hacks the databases. but until it offsets the money saved by not having a person there at the booth nothing will change. welcome to earth.
If we didn't have this fast track every where in California maybe traffic wouldn't be fucked.........never mind this is California traffic were talking about
If you pay for tolls you should be able to have the fast track lane, the people who dont pay and go through fast track should be the ones who have to sit there and wait to get through, typical assholes in the govt
Who would want to live in a state where you have to pay to drive on any road.in America the road means freedom.the freedom to move unencumbered from place to place and not be subject to automated robbery.
With the tickets police are giving out, toll booths and dmv fees, why is our infrastructure and highways still so fucked up?
Because people vote for politicians that don't represent them at all. Many will say anything to get elected, but once elected will turn around and do the opposite.

my left ear enjoyed this video
Unkraut60 - Because it is annoying to only hear the video on one side.
Unkraut60 nowthatsanovereaction.com
well look at you you little important person
A good way to speed up the fast track lane is to get rid of the tolls. Bing! see how fast those cars go!
Or get rid of the toll...
TheSilentGamers or get rid of the California drivers and deport them to Arizona there no more room for more California to have people move to California.
Perich29 lol
Get rid of GOVERNMENT MONEY in the USA? Where the fuck are you from?
Oh you know just get recommended this video 9 years late when we have a new bridge.
noctanol except I didn't. Take a second look
A much better way of improving traffic flow across the bridges is to do away with the toll booths altogether , toll roads are just a way of bleeding driver dry of their cash !!
I live in CT , no tolls :)
Yup, just jack up the tax in fuel to pay for that but it ends up going to druggies and degens.
i went over bridge and didn't see any toll , but received a invoice in the mail
bacan2112 what they should do with all bridges. Only the Golden Gate Bridge has this.
They implemented this type of system on the Mass. Pike
bacan2112 this was 9 years ago.
That sounds all too familiar, it's retarded.
My left ear really enjoyed the voice-over.
'If more people get fast-track...this is going to help the flow across the entire bridge.' What a load of rubbish. It will create a bottleneck.

Just the fact that theres tolls is bullshit

fasttrack will not significantly decrease your journey time. It's faster than many traffic lights either way.
It just another ripoff to the people of California! California is so over tax and regulated that my job decided to move to Nevada a few months ago. Glad they ask me to move with them!
Yeah, honestly. They are taking advantage of the "fast-paced" mindset many people have. Like you said, if you step back and view it, it only takes 30 seconds out of your trip...
Rednesswahn so who is in a hurry?
+jimmyfly in other words, the waiting at the toll booth is relevant and the lights after it just aren't.
dont support the scammers, dont use the bridge
The Fast Track user knows where he is by knowing where he isn’t ......
What a bunch of good guys they're doing it to give people a bonus. Wow they are so nice
my left ear enjoyed this
my left ear liked this video
So isnt that bridge already paid off? so why is it still charging?
Problem sloved if you make it free to cross. In Scotland, all bridge tolls were abolished & rightly so. The Syke Bridge toll was a complete rip off.
in australia we only have this "fast track thing" you just drive through and beep you payed toll
What they are doing is slowing the other lanes to make fast track work.
Though the bridge build cost may have been made 3 times over, maintenance and upgrade costs are high and will be ongoing for the life of the bridge.
I say crush every 50th car crossing the bridge and cure traffic tie-ups like magic!
We need Fastrak EXPRESS on the Bay Bridge
Looks like one busy freeway.
Wow, this must have been a really slow news day.
If EVERYONE gets fast track then it will ONLY be as fast as EVERY highway during rush hour and we know how “fast” that is. It’s the same dumb idea as HOV, because if everyone starts using it then suddenly all the “clogged” lanes become free while the HOV lane becomes clogged.

Follow the $...
Fasttrac, ex pass, ez tag etc. Get it asap. It makes toll roads use easier and you avoid rush hour jam ups.
But, as more people get fast track the flow rate will decrease assuming the same number of people are travelling the bridge. I guess the government doesn't want to make that too obvious.
what do they mean faster lights? what do the light do? why would you slow down if you already paid the toll?
I once saw a Camry go over those plastic in the Middle East and nothing happened to it. Granted it wasn’t going 60kph it was more like 20kph
paying tolls is the biggest scam we already pay taxes to fix bridge and build them so why are we still.payibg to drive on them while we pay taxes every year to maintain these briges ? scam!!!
Before the toll for FT users: One lane splits into multiple (5 toll booths)
After the metering lights for the FT users: Five lanes will merge back into one lane
So what she is really saying is that you can legally drive over the "delineators". Just make sure you have good underbody pans.
Nice concept I like it.
I love that this video is still getting views in 2022!
this isnt about traffic flow its about greed they just want that extra 1600 car paymets per hour.
All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal.
We need Highway Neutrality ...
I thought that right now, the bay bridge uses "All Electronic Tolling" for the tolling feature.
for a second i thought that car at 0:38 was a ae86
"it will really mess up your car" yea about that the brushguard on the front of the tahoe says different.
I hate to tell you this but in Scotland all bridge toll charges were banned almost a decade ago. Even our brand new
Forth bridge is free.
g2macs you SHOULD hate to tell people that!!! Because it's all fuckin paid for and subsidised by the ENGLISH!!! happy free ride from the U S!!!
Yeh, unfortunately you are talking what we say is....Shite. Its paid for by the poor souls like me who put billions
into the exchecker by road fund license, VAT on fuel, VAT when you buy a car, MOT divvy and few others. But
don't let the truth get in the way of your 'England pays for Scotland ' bullshit.
There should be those on every lane so people can't cut to get closer to the pay booth
Tolls should have a barrier that goes Down when a vehicle is next to pay then goes up so no cheating that's all.
Why the heck is this in my recommend? It was published in 2007. I don't even live in California!
i thought my taxes already paid to build the damn bridge.............what more do they want
Ever seen a toll removed once the bridge was fully financed?
My ears feel weird now
he was holding up that plastic divider with one hand while saying that itll really mess up your car......like it really would..
yall chill this video is 10 years old
1:13 THANKS FOR THE LOUD BEEP!!! I HAD EAR BUDS IN AND THIS KILLED MY EARDRUMS CAUSE YOU HAD THE SPEAKER SO SOFT I TURNED IT UP AND THE BEEP WAS WAY TO LOUD
I wonder how long those little plastic barriers lasted?
here in wisconsin i dont see any tolls at all when go outta state still no tolls i think wisconsin have loads of money to pay the bridges and other stuff but other states i dont know if have tolls sept some people said thay have tolls in there state
Get the excavator and tare that toll apart
Keep paying cash
My left earphone is broken.
All I heard was special effects
I need you to pay me so I can afford to enforce the continuation of you paying me... yes your fucking kingship
Dont you love it when they use tax money to pay for the bridge than charge you for toll?
If you had proper public transportation the traffic flow would be way faster.
if you get rid of the tolls traffic will move even faster. thank God I have to drive 4 hrs to find a toll road.
my right ear hated the video
Yeah.. A plastic bollard isn't going to in any way mess your car up, not sure what sort of crack they are smoking.
Nope they are trying to make more money, "hey let me tell you where to go so I can make more money!!!"
They HAVE to collect the bridge tolls, in order to -a- Pay The Toll Takers their Fat Union Wages, -b- Maintain the Toll Booths, -c- Build the FastTrack Organization with New Computer Systems, Back-Ups, Fastrack Media Distribution and Web Support, -d- Support the Multiple Levels of Management over the Government Workers at the Bridge.
WHY AM I EVEN WATCHING THIS? IM 14 WTF
It was God's plan
Alex SAAB ur 14 and this video was made when u were 5.
im not even from the usa...
So - Google is recommending a 10 year old video from a state nowhere near me because.... ?
If this was your commute every day, why wouldn't you get a Fastpass?
Canadian ... Never had to stop and pay to drive anywhere lol
Land of free where you have to pay to get over the bridge, gimme a break..
So you have an incentive to let them track you.
Motorcycles are a cool thing...
It's bullshit. That's just not right. Just not right. Some of us don't have to cross enough to bother paying ahead of time and we still need to hurry to out destination.
great job caltrans =]
I'm just laughing at all the people still living in CA, lolol.
Hey, don't tell them too much; I don't want them moving here!
Of course the best answer is to REMOVE THE TOLLS.
Any other Singaporeans watching this and laughing because we have ERP...... and then crying because we have too many of them?
here's an idea, how bout just get rid of the rolls altogether instead of taxing the hell out of us already.
it's a all well and good until someone hacks the databases. but until it offsets the money saved by not having a person there at the booth nothing will change. welcome to earth.
This must be how they're paying for all that gun control hahahaha
If we didn't have this fast track every where in California maybe traffic wouldn't be fucked.........never mind this is California traffic were talking about
Sign up for our government program, Comrade, or be punished for using cash. It's double plus good for everyone!
It doesn’t make a difference other drivers getting a 6 second ahead start.
I’ll just speed pass them because I drive like an azzh0le!
Carlos C. Talk like one too...
Michael Rawson see? I’m right! Those things can’t stop me.
they don't mess up your car
wtf are metering lights?
Tony J. Aviles yeah I want to know too. We don't have cash booth tolls in Australia just overhead cameras and detectors for your eToll Tag.
You can run over those and they just bend. No Damage
one more step to a cashless society and the mark of the beast
If you pay for tolls you should be able to have the fast track lane, the people who dont pay and go through fast track should be the ones who have to sit there and wait to get through, typical assholes in the govt
Hmm so public road and yet you still have to pay. How is that not contradictory?
Why does America still even have cash boths for tolls. Auatralia got rid of them years ago.
Cash paying have to slow down? What about they don't pay the cash either?
increase toll to pay for barricade more toll scams
Fast track what is that? The only bay bridges I know are in MD, we have the same problem though
Ah America, monetizing everything. What a perfect country it is, if you have money.
Yah
don't you worry people will for get they have fast track and still want to pay cash
Have the new englund deflatriots used this road.
I don’t know why everyone doesn’t get they pass soooo annoying
Why do we pay tolls for roads and bridges OUR TAXES pay for🤔
I want to move to sf so bad
why the hell was this in suggestions
Who would want to live in a state where you have to pay to drive on any road.in America the road means freedom.the freedom to move unencumbered from place to place and not be subject to automated robbery.
That was 10 years ago
