UPDATE

Update 2/26/16: I got a call from the NY Thruway Authority today. The person said he agrees with me totally. He has no idea where that classification came from. They will change it in the next few days. A motorcycle should be charged the same whether it is 2 or three wheels. Anyone who was overcharged will get a refund.

The tolls for trikes are more than double for a tire than that of a car or motorcycle. For example, trikes pay $23.50 R/T on the Tappan Zee (peak) versus $9.50 for cars.

I would leave New York in a heartbeat if I was offered a job elsewhere. I don't live in New York City. But, I have to pay a New York City income tax thanks to Cuomo and Blumberg!

If you complain, the politicians will likely just raise the toll on two wheelers to match trikes. That is how they think 'fair' works.

Mike,

Don't get too upset. It happens quite a bit on any forum where someone asks a question, and it's answered , and not a peep from the OP. What's worse is when you respond, and someone later responds with the same answer and is thanked, and you are not. I appreciate your answer in the other thread, which the OP may have missed.

He did complain, and he now said he's getting a refund.

You Yanks still using those little white boxes!!Your DMV needs to upgrade.Here in BC Canada we use an electronic decal that does the same signal process.It sticks to your headlight on a bike or under the mirror on the windshield of a car.Has a real tiny electronic chip in it for toll bridges.

And when did Canada go to the moon? Just sayin.... hehehehe

I have one of those from the Florida Sunpass, I also have a box from Florida Sunpass and NY EZPass. I like the Florida box better because I can switch it between vehicles. The sticker is on my pickup and cannot be easily moved.
