You might be better off with the Tappan Zee traffic wise if you're going to Westchester.

What a great idea...

so how does 30 miles at .57 a mile add up to $40?

but it drops the price from $15 down to < $5 (at least it used to--havent checked after this last increase)

I'm fairly certain you can do that with NJ based EZ Pass too, the 3 person car pool discount.

That or take local routes such as 1/9 for long as possible. But then that really only works when there isn't much traffic or you have lots of time.

30 * 2 (two trips... )* 0.575 = $34.50

I rounded at the time, assuming the OP rounded about the actual trip mileage.

why did you round to 40 instead of 35?

also, the person said they would take the GWB back depending on traffic.
