All politicians whether they are dignitaries or otherwise including President, PM and their entourage should be charged toll and also be made to wait at the toll booths - we are talking of ram rajya. Didn't Ram get a feel of what his ordinary subjects had to undergo. And our dignitaries are public servants after all. In all other countries, the PM / President lead ordinary lives while we have MPs also live like kings here. All the burden is on the common man. High time that some action is initiated on these. more

Politicians are not required to pay any toll tax irrespective of the number of trips. Politicians and Government vehicles also must pay toll tax except ambulances and dignitaries like President and Prime Minister. Moreover, toll tax is already collected by charging cess on fuel (This was started during Late Mr. Atal Bihari Bajpayee's regime). Also, Government is expected to provide basic infrastructure like health, roads free of cost. Where are these things considered? more

If You dont have money to travel on Highway ,use Un-tolled road. Also the rate of Toll is Higher In some state / areas. Instead of Govt. Should Fix Toll tax Per km over all Country basis. Rs. 0.50 Per Km. For Cars, jeep , Rs. 1.00 For Buses , Rs. 1.25 for Trucks , Rs. 1.50 for Multiaxis Trucks , Tailors . It will Solve the Problem. Toll is needed for regular maint. of the roads & every Car owner should pay it without any complaint. more

While I agree in principle, what choice do we have as ordinary citizens? No one will hear our voices or comments. All politicians are smug in their AC offices and in between the Great Roads Minister will throw in some new impractical idea which generally never sees the light5 of the day. So we, ordinary beings, keep on thinking of a beautiful new week, or new month or new year. Ultimately we forget and carry on with our dreary lives. more

See for political people they will neither pay toll ir income tax. They are supreme law makers. Evan supreme Court is not bothered as the judges are not paying toll as long as they are un service free transport facilities are provided. Here general public only pays alk these kinds if taxes in India otherwise you see celebrities and great sports persons will not pay such taxes even income tax they avoid.
