You'll also get a discount on the actual toll, another benefit!

Some parking garages take the transponder, too, for example the parking garage at the RT128 train station.

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

If you surf fish like you and I do, it is like getting a VS.... You will wonder what took you so long to do it.

THERE NEVER WAS SUPPOSED TO BE TOLLS ANYMORE. The Pike charter abolished them remember that?

Fastlane is accepted anywhere that ezpass is

Really, amazing. I originally purchased EZPASS when our state wanted 27.50 per transponder and EZPASS was free. EZPASS now charges a monthly maintainence fee. FASTLANE was also not as widespread as it is now.

That was 8 years ago.

I always wonder why people don't have a EZPass or FastLane transponder.

I'm down in PA right now and I will be driving back to MA this afternoon, I can't even imagine how much time I have saved over the years with EZpass.
