Title: Check your FasTrak bill Post by: Michael Moore on February 16, 2011, 05:28:00 PM Hey amigos, I just discovered that FasTrak was overcharging me for using the carpool lane on my Streetfighter and scooter.
Be sure to check online (http://www.bayareafastrak.org/ (http://www.bayareafastrak.org/)) to make sure you're not getting ripped off. In my case I was getting charged $7 instead of $2.50 for the Richmond-SR bridge. I'd be curious to know if this is happening to anyone else. Title: Re: Check your FasTrak bill Post by: AJ on February 16, 2011, 05:43:11 PM Wow, that sucks. I havent been on the Richmond bridge lately, but the Golden Gate is charging normally, and the Bay Bridge has yet to read my plates (of course I stop and pay the toll in cash, officer)

He's been getting dinged $6 when he goes through on his moto during carpool hours. The bike is registered properly with Fastrak. Thanks for the heads up. [thumbsup]

[thumbsup] Interesting - did he say which bridge? The funny thing is on the RSR bridge, $7.00 doesn't correspond to a normal car or moto toll. I can't tell if it's supposed to be some kind of penalty, or it thinks I have a dual-axle Vespa. ???

Or maybe just stick with poo and diapers. You'll feel cleaner. Title: Re: Check your FasTrak bill Post by: Michael Moore on February 16, 2011, 06:02:19 PM BTW, I have to give them props for speed. I complained via a web form yesterday, and got an email today saying I was being credited the difference.
Title: Re: Check your FasTrak bill Post by: mostrobelle on February 16, 2011, 06:05:58 PM I've been shocked also with Fastrak service. I had some sort of random pregnant dog with them a couple of years back, and they were like, "uh, just write us a letter stating 'x' and we'll just figure it out on our end." And they did. In, like, three days. The process was reasonable, fast and fair. It seems completely anathema to an organization like that.

are they overcharging me because of my foreign last name? is this the digits you guys pay up? my car registration is less than my ducati.... maybe they would charge less for a honda? i am just brainstorming...
