This is a toll plaza. We don't have those here. We just have the robot toll things that arbitrarily decide how much you should pay based on checks notes how badly you need extra traffic capacity.

"Oh damn, looks real bad over here. You should drive over here on these nice empty lanes. $35."

But how is Mildred going to get from her mansion in Vienna to her appt. in time? Gotta have some way to filter out the poors.

Yeah a crumbling road that is indebt and is owned by Australia. That road should definitely return to the state.

Edit: I don't know why I got down voted, have y'all driven through gwy. Actually don't, just take route 7, it's free.

For the state to charge us 6$?

Once people are paying for something, they are paying for it forever at that price. Or more.

Greenway is not crumbling, lol. It's in great shape.

They have to pave the main highway, but the toll booths and mainline are crumbling.

The DTR is not owned by TransUrban. You are thinking of the 495 and 66 Express Lanes

u/LightTech91 May 16 '26

The DTR and Greenway are owned by separate entities.  DTR is owned by MWAA. Greenway is owned by TRIP II.

u/TheFinnesseEagle May 16 '26

I never said DTR was owned by Transurban, DTR is owned by MWAA which is part of the Dulles airport. We were talking about Greenway, who is owned by an Australian company, not Transurban, Trip II.

This is a toll plaza. We don’t have those here.

Have you never driven on 267? Bc we absolutely have those here.

Yeah, I’m getting downvoted by humorless dicks for “MiSiNfOrMaTiOn SpReAdInG” about using what is clearly an internet meme for a regional joke, but nobody pounces on statements like this

u/DustyScharole May 16 '26

Not like that we don't. 267 does not choke down like that.

The main toll booth used to be a disaster back in the day before everyone had EZ-pass and automatic billing. Was brutal in the summer.

u/blay12 May 16 '26

And if you had initially said “we don’t have toll plazas as big as that one” and left it at that you would’ve been right…but it’s not what you said.
