Thumbs down Tokens not accepted

Seems silly to me that either plan would stop accepting tokens (1/2006 or 7/2007) as oppposed to just no longer selling them. After a while they'd run out (for most people, FLL perhaps excluded ). Why bother tinkering with the machinery unless the coin vs token "logic" is constantly breaking down. You're going to have coin lanes no matter what is done. Somehow I find it hard to believe that the token part alone costs an additional $750k (net) to run. I also wonder why it's so important that the EZ Pass be deemed a "success". What if the public doesn't gravitate towards it at the rate or in the amounts deemed "successful" ? So what ? Ooops silly me, some pols reputation is probably at stake. By all means lets make sure it's successful then ....
