> Don't toll booths already charge you different amounts depending on your destination
Yea the mid-west toll roads and the Chicago Skyway will charge per segment (I think). The DC metro system and Seattle's Link Lightrail also charges you based on how far you ride (you tap in and out and it calculates the fare based on zones traveled. Seattle just has two zones though).
A lot of transit systems charge by zone, and with network traffic you're really talking about fair relaying between all intermediate hops. The analogy doesn't really work. I don't think I'd try to use it.
