Over the course of a year the differential in costs is already happening.
You are paying 10 dollars once a year because you travel once on vacation in a year. Twice if your ambitious or have the means.
I am paying 20 dollars A WEEK. Over 1000 dollars a year. I am simply getting fair treatment for the contribution I make. If I pay 1000 dollars and get the same level of service you get at 10 dollars, then frankly, *I* am the one getting ripped off.
Consider this. Government already HAS preferred lines for frequent travellers. Built by taxpayers in many major metropolitan areas, these fast lines serve only the frequent traveller who pays for the privilege of not waiting in line. Government not only sanctions this privilege to a few, they actively advertise it! Don't believe me? Next time you go through a toll, look over at "e-pass" type lanes. LANES NOT ONLY BUILT WITH TAXPAYER FUNDS, BUT RESERVED FOR THOSE IN THE FREQUENT COMMUTER PROGRAM!
