Oklahoma has a better toll road system than Texas

Recently I traveled to Oklahoma, and I paid my toll at a manned toll both in Chandler. It also had a Prairie Speed Pass option. Manned booths coupled with electronic booths are necessary everywhere. The REAL people can help drivers who are lost or help find gas stations, and one doesn’t have to pay the enormous processing fees when the toll bill comes in the mail.
It also provides local jobs which support the local economy.
I have been on toll roads in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York, Oklahoma, and Texas. Unfortunately my home state of Texas is the only with all automated tolls where the poor and visitors end up paying the most fees. We have eliminated manned booths and jobs that help the local economy, and we are not available to help visitors and those who are lost to help with directions and services.
Please bring back at least one manned booth on the automated massive and growing toll road system in Texas.
