    Toll is double taxation. Should be abolished or do not pay road tax while registering the vehicle at local RTO.

    Roads are built by the peoples money and Collecting toll for ages by the Government has to be stopped for ever and forever. Without having proper roads toll has been collected. Let the accounts of toll collection be transparent is the road is built by the contractor on the basis of BOLT and in this case the money has to go to the contractor and no need of Government interfering in this.

    The surathkal toll plaza is illegal. When law doesn't do anything why the heck should we give a damn to break their hand(break it) we pay all the damn tax+rude behaviour by the toll plaza authority and everyone keeps their mouth shut and pay. I support their violence. It's for sure they fought because the toll worker was rude with them because all the toll plaza workers are goon. And they don't even wear mask

    First of all the toll gate should not be there at Surathkal. It was told earlier that after Hejmadi toll gate starts, Surathkal one will be removed but it still continues to loot money from public. Where are the local politicians who gave false promises of removing these illegal toll gates? Today when you buy even a scooty, we end up paying minimum Rs 10000 as road tax along with GST of minimus Rs 15000. Over that you have to pay toll also?

    Pravin, Udupi,
    Why you are comparing toll fee to other tax systems. Citizens are not paying tax means , Government failed to collect tax. Collecting toll is looting money from public .

    Toll gates should be at district and state borders only and not every 10 to 15 Kms.

    First of all these toll gates in DK district are all illegal.

    New RTOs are setup in Bantwal and Suratkal so that KA19 vehicles don't get considered as local vehicles and they will get charged at Bramharakootlu and Suratkal tolls.

    I am guessing they will also plan one more at Ullal, then KA19 will pay toll at Talapady also.

    @Sanjay - I think there are no tolls arround Hebri. So you don't understand comman man's problems with these tolls.

    I frequently pass through Bramharakootlu and Talapady tolls. Most of the employees there are rowdies. Some are only appointed to harrass passaengers who question about lack of basic amenities at the toll plazas or bad road conditions.

    These so called Rowdy employees deserve beatings.
