Downtown Bryan roundtrip bus ticket to Fort Worth. Bernie L. Thomas, who has worked at the toll gates since the turnpike opened about three years ago, says “Ninety-nine per cent of the drivers who take the toll road have everything they need, know just what they want and know where they’re going. “But we’ve got our one percent, too—the folks who require just a little bit of attention.” Near the top in that category, Thomas said in an interview, are those who come onto the toll road without enough money. “They dig and dig, find out they’re short and want to pay to- mori’ow. We can’t do that, because our business has to be concluded at the end of every shift. “So the toll takers usually dig into their own pockets for a few cents to nfq.ke up the difference.” The driver can’t be turned back. They do not pay until they have completed their trip. Many drivers get on the toll road by accident, but it costs them just the same. Women in particular ignore backed-up traffic while looking for change. “We’ve had some ladies stop their car, roll down the window, hunt for their money for several minutes, find a billfold, look in there some more, fumble around with pennies and finally come up with a $10 bill,” he said. “And then when the money transaction is all over, they have to put the change back in their billfold, put the billfold back in the purse, roll up the window and may be even shift gears before they take off. It doesn’t bother us, but a few motorists get tired waiting. Largest bill ever presented at a toll window has been $100, and there have been many, mainly of fered by truck drivers. Truck drivers “Always seem to have plenty of money and a big smile, day or night. They.’re always pleasant customers,” Thomas says.
