I suggest: cancel all toll booths nationwide, and collect highway fees uniformly from fuel prices.


Opponents will say: "Then drivers who don't use the highway will lose out?"
Guess what? Drivers who don't use the highway are already burning fuel. An extra fifty cents per liter in fuel prices adds up to only about two hundred dollars a year. But if toll booths are removed, the savings in tolls and time are enough for you to buy ten tanks of fuel.
Someone else will say: "That will increase logistics company costs, and prices will rise."
Currently, logistics companies pay several thousand dollars in tolls per trip; spreading that cost over fuel expenses actually makes it cheaper. If prices don't fall, then I lose.
Who is truly opposed? It's those who sustain themselves on toll booth fees. One toll station employs dozens of people, with annual wages totaling tens of millions. If they remove them, where will those people go?
So this plan will never be approved. Not because it's unreasonable, but because it threatens others' livelihoods.
