Motorcycles Should be exempt from tolls IMO

With my motorcycle EZ Pass I pay 1/2 the car toll on the NYS Thruway and less than half on NYC bridges and tunnels. I only get a lousy dollar break on the Holland Tunnel and GW Bridge. So at least I get some break, but not really enough to reflect the reduced congestion and road wear that a bike causes compared to a car.

I've heard of a lot of people having problems with the EZ pass not reading when it's zipped in your jacket pocket. I might as well give it a try next time and just also bring cash in case it doesn't work. It's registered to my car's plate, but I wonder if I can register it to my bike's too.

I dunno about the other states, but if your plate is registered to NJ EZ-Pass, they'll just charge you if they manage to get that lucky shot of your license plate. My EZ-Pass spends a lot of time on my desk since it seems to barely ever register anyways and I'm too lazy to get a replacement.

i was having this same conversation today with a friend. Its just inconvenient and slows down the the whole toll lane waiting for a biker to stop, take their gloves off, get the money out, put the gloves back on, etc. Cars pay less than trucks so bikes should pay less than cars at least too, or just nothing. Or you can always do this.....
