If you didn't know by now, the Greenway is set to increase tolls by $2 in September.

I'm in no hurry, I can take the cheaper route thru Ashburn and help jam up their local roads. All the soccer moms will just be getting to their kids a little later with the increase in traffic.

The tolls on Dulles Greenway are already too high. Now they are raising tolls another $2. At the same time, they announce that they give some of the toll money to charity. If the Greenway company wants to donate some of its profits to charity, that's OK by me. But it's wrong for the Greenway to make drivers donate to charity, too. Tolls should be kept to the minimum needed to maintain the road and give the Greenway company a reasonable profit. Don't use toll money to create a private slush fund for the CEO's favorite "charities."

I wish we had a good list of TransUrban employees so they could be properly thanked for their contributions to our community.

Transurban has nothing to do with the Greenway, which is effectively owned and operated by Macquarie-Atlas Roads. They are allowed annual toll increases through 2020. Some of them may be worse than the 15-cent rush hour increase for this year.

Maybe tar and feather the morons who think it's such a good idea to privatize everything. When will you people tire of being pillaged by the corporatists?

This is the type of reply that makes it onto the "We shoulda seen it coming" segment that NBC broadcasts beside a Facebook profile photo of a Confederate flag shopped on to a face. Mr.Little-too-good-at-skinning-animals-as-a-child's mother comments, "He would never do anything like this, he was a sweetheart" before she dropped dead of stoke at age 34

It's great isn't it, hopefully the Mcmansion is worth it.


MIC is coming close to a 7% dividend yield, amazing! I say raise it $5 more!


The yield I'm getting at my entry price is nearing 50%, thanks Loudon-tardz!

Toll increases have already been approved through 2020, but the portion of MIC's profits that do not come from paper moves are coming not from tolls, but from investments in renewable energy.
