Instead of an electronic pikepass-type of pass for turnpikes in several states, how about just using your credit card as you whizz by the tollgates?
Well, MasterCard is testing its
PayPass contactless technology at selected exit lanes and service plazas on the Ohio Turnpike in a trial of just this kind of scenario.
This would, I think, allow anyone with the right kind of MasterCard use the turnpike without stopping to throw change in the bucket like now.
