So goes the laborious surveying needed to find 10 sites for tollbooths that the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission wants to install by 2010 along the 311-mile(500km) stretch of I-80 that spans the state.
在一个调查之后结果显示在宾夕法尼亚州收费公路委员会计划在2010年前在I-80公路的延伸段(500公里左右)上建造10个收费站。(注:平均50公里一个)Mike Biondi, owner of a trucking company that hauls produce, said that he considered the new tolls, combined with fuel taxes, akin to “double taxation” and that the higher costs would be passed on to consumers. “These trucking companies cannot absorb that,” he said.
一个运输公司的老板Mike Biondi说他角儿这些新的收费站与已有的燃油税结合起来,构成了“重复税收”,而这些增加的费用将会转嫁给客户,因为货运公司无法吸收这些成本。
