[2023] Why Beltway 8 toll still high?

road and bridges are complicated and expensive to construct and maintained, we need all the $$ we can get, its a shame the gas tax hasn't been increased -Engineer

288 is not HCTRA maintained, that was under a private group until TxDOT purchased recently.

Didn’t understand the dynamics. I knew it was owned by the French. And Texas surrendered.

I'm just trying to speculate why you might see people on that road. I don't know though because I'm not one of them. I appreciate the per-mile analysis though. I'd also speculate this way: RFID tolls make it too easy to not internalize the price when you take 288. A daily commuter will eventually notice and take action, but someone on a one-off trip will probably take the toll without realizing what a bad deal it is.

As you likely know, toggling toll roads on and off on your phone while you're driving isn't all that easy or quick unless you're literally doing it all the time. My suggestion to google maps is to always show the quickest non-toll alternative when it is recommending a toll route.
