? I see you found the "TEXpress" toll road. Yup, the cost is variable so that everyone doesn't flood it to keep the traffic going. It's designed to get people from one side to the other with only a couple entrances and exists. If you travel much to DFW airport, it's your best friend. It's kept me from missing a few flights when 635 becomes a parking lot. If you want to open up the throttle, it's the place to go in Dallas....so a friend told me. ??
being a 100% disabled veteran the state gives us free toll on STATE owned toll roads, of which there are not very many, and free airport parking for 6 months, used to be as long as you wanted
then we pop out near buda and get back in the 35 monster of never ending road work
hmmm we were doing 80 almost the whole way,
My son lives in San Antonio. 160 is great.being a 100% disabled veteran the state gives us free toll on STATE owned toll roads, of which there are not very many, and free airport parking for 6 months, used to be as long as you wanted
but they changed the rules last year when NTTA took over so they dictate though shalt have a freeking tag with 20 dollars balance...
only thing that makes me feel good is we use the toll that goes around austin, 160 i believe and the bus weighs 32k lbs so not toll is charged
you do not want to...its a freaking mess crazy drivers ?
That would be Toll 130, perhaps with a bit of Toll 45 at the southern end if you cut over to Buda rather than take it to Seguin / I-10, thence into San Antonio from the East. 130 and 45 are both state / TXDOT roads so you receive your disabled vet benefit
.Thanks for the hog heads up! First time for that one. We are always on the watch for deer.That would be Toll 130, perhaps with a bit of Toll 45 at the southern end if you cut over to Buda rather than take it to Seguin / I-10, thence into San Antonio from the East. 130 and 45 are both state / TXDOT roads so you receive your disabled vet benefit
Well worth it 24/7/365 even at the TX Tag price for avoiding the almost constant absolute maximum zoo that is I-35 through Austin. IMO paying to Seguin is worth it on holidays / weekends to avoid the only slightly smaller zoo on I-35 through San Marcos and New Braunfels on those peak days / times.
One caution - be attentive to the possibility of crossing feral hogs, especially south of the Austin / ABIA airport exit. They're plentiful, very fast, very heavy, dark-colored so difficult to spot, and at tollway speed can wreck very serious havoc and injury even on big vehicles. A year-round hazard at least as dangerous if not more so than the deer which they outnumber significantly. Especially treacherous from dusk through the night when they are particularly active.

I take great comfort in knowing that sheeple like you are paying 2 out of my 5 tolls. (At $8.80 a pop!)
my trip to south florida this past dec.. i had NO toll pass tag recognized by florida
even though i already paid ??
in Florida they add a surcharge for toll by Plate. We also have a program where you get 50% of your toll cost back if you pay 35 tolls in a calendar month. Not hard to do here, they’re almost as bad as NJ.
