Tolls Leaving Logan

[preppy]

Long story short my debit card was cancelled due to fraud and I am in Minnesota flying back tomorrow. I am the last person in Massachusetts to not have an ez pass (I know, I know) and I don't carry cash. I was planning on grabbing $ from the ATM on my way out of the aiport for the toll onto the pike.

If I go North on 93 instead is there a toll leaving logan?

I honestly think I may have to make DH drive to logan midday tomorrow to give me $5.

Also I am pissed that someone has my debit card #, they tried to spend $450 at Macy's in Cambridge today. Assholes.

Sorry preppy, that sucks

The only way to leave Logan without a toll is to go north on 1A through Revere.  There's a toll going into the tunnel to get to 93.  You can go 1A north to route 16 to get back over to route 1 if you're heading south, or follow route 60 to go a little further north on 1.

This is incredibly helpful. Thank you!!

16 also goes straight through to 93 by way of Wellington Circle...

Now that I am over being oissed about my card being compromised I am LOLing at myself that I have zero cash. Lesson learned. DH also ordered me an ezpass today. Clearly this is the kick I needed.

I just landed so FX I can find my way home without having to blow a toll, haha.

preppy I forgot, there is a toll going southbound on the Tobin bridge (rt 1 into Boston), which is now all EZ pass, no cash.  But if you blow through that one they will just send a bill to your house (with an extra fee on top for processing). 

Good luck!

Good luck! And yes, always good to have at least a little bit of cash on hand, especially if you're traveling.

I know:/ I usually keep $ in my car but had recently used it all up. Lesson learned! My first stop will be my bank in Watertown for a new card.

Seems like there's so much credit/debit card theft on the boards lately. So awful.

At first when the fraud detection people called I figured it was because I was in Minnesota but nope!

I just took the longest possible way ever home from the airport but didn't blow any tolls. Woo!

Yup, I found myself getting off the pike at needham I believe and there was a toll I didn't expect so I had to blow through it.
For a $1.25 toll, I got a pic of my car blowing through it in the mail and a $50 fine
Waaaa

Ugh! I hate fines. I ended up going up 1A then took 60 all the way to Waltham. The very long way but oh well. We ordered me a ezpass it should arrive soon. Won't have this issue again!

The very next chance I got I went to square one mall for ez pass and it was closed.
Haven't been back yet to get one. The hours are never in line with when I'm there, and it's five min from my house.

In the future, you can tell them you don't have any money and they'll take down your information and send you a bill in the mail. I've had to do this on more than one occasion, lol.

This one was unmanned. My fil did that once though, they sent him a bill for $3 instead of $1.25.
The one I ran didn't have a person to reason with

My husband did something online and we got ours mailed to us, no reason to go in person for an ezpass now.

Yep, we've always done ours online/via mail.  Well, DH does them, LOL.

We just ordered mine online too. Should arrive this week:)
