Toll roads?

[Morrigoon]

Has anyone been on the 241 Toll Road? Is it fastrack only or can I pay cash to use it?

I have a client that wants to see homes in Anaheim Hills at 6 today, and I can't get out of here before 5:30, so I told her 6:15 and even that's a stretch if I can't find a quick way there...

[BarTopDancer]

I take it daily. You can use FastTrack.

I take it daily. You can use FastTrack.
That's not what she asked, she was asking if she can pay cash.

[BarTopDancer]

Yes. Cash too.

Sorry.

[Morrigoon]

THANKS!!! You're a lifesaver. I'm always afraid of hopping on those things because I think some of them are only if you have the fastrack, which I don't, and I only know the 73 has cash booths.

[BarTopDancer]

No problem! I do the same thing. There are two toll booths depending where you hop on. Both are about $2.50.
You may want to have exact change though.

You may want to have exact change though.Not a big deal actually. Even if there are no attendants on duty, the machines take up to $20 bills. Its just that if you do use a $20, your change is in dollar coins.

I speak from experience as I took the toll roads home the other night. I had a couple of singles and a quarter for the first one but had to use a $20 for the second one.

And FWIW, the 91 freeway does NOT accept cash, but all other toll roads do. And the 91 can get pricy: up to $9.50 (eastbound on a Fridays 4-5 p.m.)

And thank you for the thread. It reminded me to sign up for Fastrack. I've been meaning to do it for several months.

I love FastTrak. Though it is a constant reminder of how much I spend on the toll roads.

It's a terrible expense (91 fasttrack)- but I look at it this way. Or rather I do for my husband since he's the one on it...

While sitting in traffic, would you pay $7 to be home now? If the answer is yes, you should have gotten in the FastTrack. And then they raise it by a quarter and you think, damn, but it's only a quarter. look - there's a quarter on the floor of my car.

And then you see it all added up and wonder just how you can stop paying it. But I work in Perris, and hubby in Garden Grove, so Corona is a good half way point. That and we couldn't afford to live in the same level of housing if we lived in O.C.

So, after all this... my appointment cancelled.

Heh.

S'arright... wasn't feeling great today anyway.
