Anyone who travels through these tunnels, which are the most expensive in the world in terms of price per kilometer, is stupid.
Even though I have a subscription, I no longer travel through tunnels, even at the cost of longer travel time and traffic jams on the way.
It's time to boycott the company that is amassing wealth at our expense.
I don't go near the tunnels because of the high cost. I wish the driving public would boycott them until they cut them in half.
Abolish tunnel tolls.
People go to work to survive and not to be exploited from all directions. Enough of the exploitation and robbery.
When will you stop robbing us where you are the mayor and your promises are worth a garlic peel.
A remedy to milk more tunnel usage fees.
Jerusalem is full of tunnels and you don't pay a penny there.
Why do people pay so much in miserable Haifa?
