Does the “Express Lane” Mean Free Toll?

by | Jan 21, 2025 | Daily Shorts

Did you ever see an “express lane” at a toll booth and think, “Wow, free lanes! What a kind gesture”? Let me save you from an awkward moment.

The “express lane” isn’t free—it’s just faster because it’s for people with a toll pass. If you zoom through without one, you’re not saving money—you’re getting a fine. And trust me, that’s not the kind of express experience you want.

So next time you see an express lane, remember: fast doesn’t mean free. I hope you learned something you didn’t know about.
