This is the new ring road in Athens. I have used it.
2.5 euros for a 30km stretch, irrespective whether you use it up to the next exit or
the whole distance. It's a ripoff system - indicated by the last option.

I guess the German company that won the build competition wants their money
back as soon as possible. After all it's only a 20 year lease. <_<

The "other means" seems like a far too high a price to pay - for anything

The fact that this is in Greece . . . well - add your joke here

Good one, Rudy. Got a laugh out that graphic. Where would a toll tag fit in your poll? Let me know so i can vote for the toll tag. We are billed automatically against an automatic $40 deposit charged to a credit card.

I'd say that's an E-Pass based on the graphic.

We have "EZ-Pass" here -- there's a transponder mounted on the windshield that is read each time you pass under toll booth. Like your system, you need to maintain $35 in your account via credit card...

(Having said that, I had to vote for the "other" choice. Clearly, this poll wasn't meant to be serious but feel free to vote for whatever choice you wish!)

Thanks. Then OTHER it was because the Dallas toll tag operates exactly like the Pittsburgh E-Pass. I like it because it is seamless.

EZ-Pass is actually used in a bunch of states here in the East.

You can see a listing of the places that accept it by clicking here.
