  • Why can’t they just join E-Z Pass so everyone doesn’t need to get another account, and another card, etc.

  • I do not understand this. I crossed yesterday back to Canada at Port Huron. I could only pay with my credit card which is ok except the tool booth attendant made me hand him my credit card so he could process it. He was not even wearing gloves. This is scary. This is the first high risk task I have been forced to participate in. I would have rather handed him cash then I would not have been exposed. I did immediately wipe my card down with Lysol wipe. So wrong.

  • I’m a trucker. Blue water bridge…
    Get with the program!!!
    EZ pass can be used on most other bridges. Get into this century, specially since cash payment can’t be accepted because of covid19
