Complaints from drivers using toll gates have continued since yesterday (18th), when the toll collection of Ilsan Bridge resumed.
A 54-year-old driver, who was passing the Ilsan Bridge tollgate at 2 pm today, made an impression on the guide and said, "Are you going to be charged the toll again in a few days, I'm not joking..."
Mr. Lee expressed dissatisfaction with the situation, saying, "When will the Ilsan Bridge become free?" as he pays 1,200 won (based on small cars) as a one-way toll every time he uses the Ilsan Bridge to and from the Gimpo City factory.
Ilsan Bridge was made free on the 27th of last month due to the public disposition of Gyeonggi-do, but was converted to a paid service after 22 days.
This is in accordance with the court's acceptance of an injunction application for 'cancellation of the Ilsan Bridge toll collection ban' filed by Ilsan Bridge.
56-year-old Mo Kim, who lives in Gimpo, also pointed out, "Does it make sense to receive a toll again in less than a month?" and "What kind of administration do you do this way?"
There were also calls mixed with complaints from citizens to Goyang City and Gimpo City Hall.
"Administration fluctuates, so only users eat meat", "Why do only Ilsan, Paju, and Gimpo residents have to pay to cross the Han River?", "Isn't Gyeonggi-do done too hastily?"
Today, on the second day of the conversion to pay, there were some drivers in front of the Ilsan Bridge tollgate who were belatedly unaware that the free pass was stopped.
One driver said, "I didn't know it was paid again, and I was sweating hard to find my wallet."
Occasionally, due to toll fees, I noticed a vehicle that changed lanes between the high pass and cash aisle lanes of the toll gate.
