I pay here, there, everywhere...
All motorised vehicles in India are supposed to have paid a road tax, which among other things, is supposed to pay for construction and maintenance of roads on which these vehicles would ply.
So what exactly is the rationale behind charging toll for the fancy new highways, toll bridges, expressways?
Apparently these new facilities are of superior quality and put extra load on the funds in their creation and maintenance.
So if I need to pay extra when I travel on such a road, shouldn’t I get a refund when I travel on a road that has not been constructed properly or has not been properly maintained, which would mean almost any Indian road apart from these fancy ‘tollable’ roads?
What say?
