The Toll Tale: Unveiling the Options
There are a few ways to appease the toll gods, each with its own level of convenience (and potential for minor theatrics).
The Elusive E-Tag: This magical little sticker, attached to your windshield, lets you waltz through the toll booth (well, not exactly a booth, more of a high-tech gantry) without stopping. It's the easiest option, but if you're a spontaneous road warrior, it might not be your best bet.
The Prepaid Pass: Your Not-So-Secret Weapon For those who prefer a touch of pre-planning, a prepaid pass is your knight in shining armor. Purchase it online or at participating retailers, and you're good to go for a set period. Bonus points for dramatic toll-waving declarations like, "Behold! The power of the pre-paid pass!"
The Post-Tunnel Scramble (For the Forgetful Souls) Let's be honest, we've all been there. You completely forget about the toll until you're safely back home reminiscing about dodging pigeons on the freeway. Don't fret! A bill will be sent your way, allowing you to settle the score online or over the phone. Just be prepared for a slight admin fee (think of it as a friendly reminder to be more toll-aware next time).
Remember: While a bit of theatrics are encouraged, please refrain from attempting to bungee jump off the Burnley Bridge to avoid the toll. Safety first, friends!
