Time, or tolls? Doing the new math for New Jersey commuters
It sounds like a problem from a physics exam: Two drivers left a parking lot in East Brunswick, N.J., at the same moment on Tuesday morning. One swallowed hard and took the New Jersey Turnpike, paying tolls that had jumped 53 percent on New Year’s Day. The other took Routes 1 and 1/9, toll free.
Which one arrived first at their destination, the Dunkin’ Donuts inside the Exxon station on Jersey Avenue, near the entrance to the Holland Tunnel in Jersey City? (Barron, The New York Times)
