The price of a latte
In this week’s Seattle Times traffic Q&A column, a man is “infuriated” at having to spend what amounts the price of a latte for a small plastic transponder shield for his car.
“Now, I do not care if folks choose to self-tax themselves to shave a few minutes off of their daily commute,” MacLean said, “but I am absolutely infuriated that the [state Transportation Department] chose to require vehicles with transponders to also purchase transponder shields when traveling in the HOV lane as a legitimate car pool.”
Serious business folks.
