While buying vehicle we are ready to pay some amount as entire toll. Govt should make like that. Then it will be easier and those toll plaza people cant cheat us

Why temporary. That should not be there.

I am a traveller. I used to travel all over India. I am paying around 3k to 4k for toll. Cant imagine that paying this much amount without reason or for unwanted matter. Should have a system like while purchasing vehicle we have to pay toll as tax or something else and later no need.

Toll plaza worker taking money even after they got back the money. Alternate system should come
