Toll Troll (v. 1.0) Разработано FNX Studios |
Your time is valuable, and when you waste time stuck in traffic between Seattle and Bellevue, you can get more than a little grumpy. The SR 520 Toll Troll's main purpose in life is to tell you whether the choice to commute across SR 520 is good, bad, or neutral. The Troll figures out how much time you could save by choosing to cross the SR 520 bridge vs. the I-90 bridge. Then, based on how you have set the value of your time, the Toll Troll will express the mood you will be in if you take SR 520. For example, if you tell the Toll Troll that you would be happy to pay the SR 520 toll if you could save 10 minutes crossing, you would launch Toll Troll before your commute, and Toll Troll would quickly reflect your future mood if you crossed the bridge...happy, sad, or neutral.
Toll Troll uses data from the WSDOT's website for current commute times and for tolling information. It contains the following features:
• View the Toll Troll's current commuting mood.
• Change the direction of your commute between Seattle and Bellevue.
• View the minutes you would save or lose if you took the SR 520 bridge.
• See your current toll cost.
• View the current traffic map.
• View the current and average commute times for SR 520, I-90, and I-90 HOV.
• Configure your minimum preferred time saved.
• Set your toll cost parameters such as number of axles, Good To Go, and HOV.
• Auto-update the commute time and tolling data, or refresh it manually.

[2012-03-16] T: Very useful (for me) This has already saved me a great deal of time, but it works well for me since I live on Capitol Hill and work in downtown Bellevue. I could see this app being utterly useless for those who live or work north of 520 or south of I-90. It'd be common sense to allow custom start/end points. |

[2012-02-07] Paul: Just thanks Thanks for the reliable app. |

[2012-01-08] Nathan: Majorly Limited LAME. Not everyone lives or goes from Bellevue to downtown Seattle. Allow for Customized locations on both sides of the lake or lots more neighborhoods. Fix and I'll actually use it. |

[2012-01-08] Joe: Needs destinations And calc for gas cost |
|
[2012-01-03] the 1/3/2012 : No more than a toll schedule listing. Isn't sensitive to whether the start & destination are north, south, or between the bridges. Doesn't compare toll vs. Gas costs for longer drive on 90. |
