Starting on Sunday a trip to Allentown will cost you 6 percent more if you are traveling on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

For passenger vehicles traveling the length of the Turnpike, that means an increase from $55 to $58.30 for cash payers and $39.25 to $41.60 for E-ZPass tag holders.

A trip from the Mahoning exit to the Lehigh Valley exit will cost $3.60, an increase from $3.35. E-ZPass customers will pay $2.30 for the journey.

For those headed from Route 903 (E-Z Pass only) to the Lehigh Valley, the trip will cost $3.12.

Going toward Philadelphia, the toll will be $8.70 for cash customers, and $6 for E-ZPass.

Heading north? From Mahoning to Wilkes-Barre, the cost will be $4.90 for cash customers and $3.30 for E-ZPass drivers.

Rates are for two-axle vehicles. Truck drivers will pay more.

In 1995 I took an entry level engineering position in the Lehigh Valley for $40k/year. The toll was $0.50 to drive from Mahoning Valley to Allentown. If Business could raise prices commensurate with turnpike tolls an entry level engineering position would pay $280,000/year . And a gallon of milk would cost almost $28.
YAWN!!! Seriously? You can't follow that? You couldn't comprehend from that that the turnpike tolls have increased at a much faster rate than the salary increase for an entry level engineer or the price of Milk? Seriously?

How many other things that we purchase regularly have increased seven fold since 1995?

Google says bread (loaf) was 12 cents in 1930.
