Somebody's got to check their math. Going from 50% premium to 100% over the Tag price is not double. The premium is double, but the overall toll is not.

The short length of the news article means that someone in the KDFW newsroom took the essential information from the NTTA press release and reposted it as "news" in ten minutes or less.

If the ZipCash toll is 100% more than the TollTag rate… then it’s double. If the toll is $5, 100% of $5 is $5, so the toll would be $10. So… double the overall toll.
