点评:This is a total rip off. The electorate was promised that the crossings would be free for the public once the bridge's costs had been covered....which was back in 2003. The system was chaotic, with every vehicle needing to slow down and put the correct change in a toll booth - it would be a tough task to find a less efficient and more annoying method, but they managed! We now have to pay online - the wait to cross the bridge/tunnel is longer than before. I paid for several crossings in advance, but I forgot to top up my payment, so I was sent a fixed penalty. In fairness, they allowed me to pay the crossing charge when I called - and I then opened an account and put in £40 so I would have trouble-free crossings for the foreseeable future. I just completed my first crossing as an account holder and have received a penalty notice...so I now have to call the call centre yet again. It's actually quicker to drive the opposite way around the M25 to avoid the inevitable queues and then the inevitable penalty charge.
翻译:这完全是欺骗。选民们被承诺,一旦桥梁成本得到支付,过桥费将免费供公众使用……那是在 2003 年。系统很混乱,每辆车都需要减速并在收费站投入正确的零钱——要找到一种效率更低、更烦人的方法是一项艰巨的任务,但他们做到了!我们现在必须在线支付——过桥/过隧道的等待时间比以前更长。我提前支付了几次过桥费,但我忘了充值,所以我收到了一笔固定罚款。公平地说,他们允许我在打电话时支付过桥费——然后我开了一个账户,存入了 40 英镑,这样在可预见的未来我就可以无忧无虑地过桥了。我刚刚以账户持有人的身份完成了我的第一次过桥,并收到了罚款通知……所以我现在不得不再次致电呼叫中心。实际上,绕 M25 反向行驶会更快,这样可以避免不可避免的排队和罚款。
