That's the one thing I don't like about the Fastpass/EZ-Pass system up 
here.

Has anyone been to Atlanta? The EZ-Pass style toll system is what it 
should be like anywhere they have an auto-payment type system. You can 
go 80mph through the toll plaza. They have two larger lanes on the left 
side of the highway and you can zip through like it wasn't even there. 
Your little transponder beeps and all is well.

EZ-Pass seems silly when you still have to wait in like 5-6 cars deep. 
Sure it moves faster, but when the cash (now also ez-pass) lanes only 
have on person, and the coin lanes have 2-3, it seems silly.

Then yo go through NY and they have GATES on the EZ-Pass lanes that you 
have to actually stop and wait for the gate to raise up... what's the point!
