But wait, there's more!
Even with a SunPass PRO, there might be some toll rate differences between states. It's like comparing apples to oranges, but with more money involved. So, don't be shocked if your New York tolls are a bit steeper.
So, What's the Deal?
To sum it up:
- Regular SunPass: Nope, won't work in New York.
- SunPass PRO: Yes, it'll work, but be prepared for potential toll rate differences.
If you're serious about conquering the New York toll roads, getting an E-ZPass might be the more straightforward option. But hey, if you already have a SunPass PRO, why not give it a shot? Just be ready to open your wallet a little wider.
