strangest thing happened today. I ran the whole toll road from Fremont to portage.my company doesn't have EZ Pass, but when I pulled up to the booth to pay with cash, the automated machine didn't even want to read my ticket.
it's then that I noticed that the gate was open, green light was on, saying izoom or I pass whatever accepted, as if it had already been paid. Wth? well I wasn't going to block a lane for 10 minutes, in the howling wind the today, and try to talk on their useless intercom to somebody 100 miles away through a McDonald's style drive thru speaker.
so I took off, but I still have my ticket.
has anyone else ever had this happen? The only thing I can think of, is that it read somebody elses transponder in a different lane, or somebody pulled up into my lane, and backed up before I got there. So maybe the machine thought a vehicle was stuck there and hadn't moved?
I looked at the website for the Indiana toll road, they don't even have a phone number to call as far as I can see. they do have a way to search for unpaid tolls, but my ticket isn't showing up.
Indiana toll road, I guess they don't want my money

I wouldn't let it bother me unless somebody talks to you about the money, just keep our ticket and pay if need be.

That's the risk they take trying to be cheap and not have toll collectors.
dog-c Thanks this. -
It goes to the Saudis anyway.
Good job burning them -
The operators of the Indiana toll road recently filed for bankruptcy due to being 6 billion dollars in debt. Maybe not collecting the money is one of their problems.
Big Don Thanks this. -
BWAHAHA! I got on one time and didn't know they only took cash. The woman at the end said she'd call the cops and have me put in jail. I just took off and went to Ohio. Never heard from them again.

That happened to me a couple of years ago too. I never heard anything. I still have the ticket. Their system has got to be the worst.

Worst is when it wont read your EZ Pass and the gate to exit wont lift. Bungee took care of that problem.
