Default how do you pay tolls?

I have a 25 step process to paying tolls.

1. pull up to toll booth
2. stop bike, shut it off this might take some time
3. get off bike
4. open tank bag, look inside, close tank bag
5. open tail bag , look inside, close tail bag
6. put hand on hip, scratch head
7. search pockets in riding jacket
8. give finger to car behind you that is honking
9. search pockets in riding pants
10. put hand on hip, scratch head, make angry grunting sound
11. open tank bag again, look inside tank bag again close tank bag
12. have idea, hold up finger to watch the shadow from the lightbulb iluminated above head
13. remove top of 1 piece suit
14. pull 1 piece suit down to ankle level
15. remove money from wallet in jeans
16. pay toll
17. pull up suit, zip up tight, adjust balls
18. ensure tail bag is closed
19. ensure tank bag is closed
20. mount bike
21. attempt to start bike
22. look around like an idiot
23. put up kick stand, turn kill switch back to the weird circle setting
24. wave at car behind you that is now honking insecantly and cursing at you
25. ride away

I think it's safe to say that the toll booth was not invented by a motorcyclist.

I thought about getting an easy pass but they have fees and I don't use it enough.

Different locations have different fees, VA and MA along with buffalo, NY dont charge any fees. You just need to sign up in those locations.
