BT are you with the band or otherwise paying homage to it?
Zman- the bridges and tunnels presented an issue for degenerate NY area players pre ez pass. The Garden State wasn’t a big deal- could always find a few quarters somewhere or just run them, triggering a bell that sounded like the off bell at the track. But the NY bridges/tunnels run by the TBTA were an issue they were expensive and used a gate. Had to get that return token for the Triborough bridges in case you tapped out at Belmont (I trailed others a few times, not easy with the gate in use) or detoured thru Queens to the free 59th st bridge
