Re: You can get tolled to death in Florida.

Taking a bus is cheap and convenient if you don't have to transfer more than twide. Taking I-95 is cheap, but congested and always being worked on it seems. Sawgrass expressway was designed to make it easier and faster to commute, but the toll charges are outrageous, i.e.... the bus can be expensive here due to multiple transfers and time consuming.

(Bad pun commeth) Presently, the truckers have the right of way.

Minnesota's Twin Cities had the best bus system in the 70's (beats driving in the snow!). It took Florida a decade to come close.

Cheers,

Marcia
