The increased speeds are excellent for those who can afford the toll. This is a universal benefit of toll roads for those people.

Yes, this is absolutely more than vindication. If you pay a toll and then become stuck in traffic on that toll road, you are a victim of highway robbery. The fact that NYC traffic is flowing fulfills our simple toll contract and makes everyone whole.
