Hitting the Kansas Turnpike? So Long, Penny Panic, Hello PikePass!
Ah, the open road. The wind in your hair (or helmet, if you're on a motorcycle). The feeling of freedom...until you slam on the brakes at a toll booth, frantically searching for quarters that seem to have vanished into the Bermuda Triangle of Car Consoles.
But fear not, travelers of Oklahoma and beyond! There's a magical little device called a PikePass that can turn toll booth stress into a smooth, breezy breeze through your, well, breeze-catching device of choice (hair, sunroof, you get the idea).
But wait, you cry, "What if I'm venturing beyond the borders of Oklahoma, into the mystical land of Kansas? Does this magical PikePass still hold its power?"
fret no more, dear adventurer. The answer is a resounding YES! Thanks to a modern-day marvel of technology (and possibly a handshake agreement between state transportation departments), your Oklahoma PikePass is as welcome on the Kansas Turnpike as a plate of fried catfish at a county fair.
QuickTip: Repetition reinforces learning.
That's right, folks. You can ditch the frantic scrambling for change and sail through those toll booths with the grace of a gazelle (or at least, with the grace of someone who isn't worried about digging through their seat for loose quarters).
Here's the technical jargon in case you need to impress your friends: The Oklahoma PikePass system is interoperable with the Kansas Turnpike Authority's K-Tag system. Basically, they speak the same toll-paying language.
Now, to celebrate this newfound freedom, how about a victory dance? (Air guitar solos are also acceptable.)
QuickTip: Absorb ideas one at a time.
