Garden State Parkway Tokens - Bus Fare Only on G.S.P - New Jersey Turnpike Token / NJ Toll Token - Vintage State Toll Token NJ

This listing is for one Garden State Parkway Token (NJ Turnpike Token), as pictured.

Tokens, available for purchase at full-service toll plaza lanes, were introduced in 1981 at a price of $10 for a roll of 40 tokens; as the toll was $0.25 at the time, most drivers continued to use quarters. However, when the toll was increased to $0.35 in 1989, rolls were priced at 30 tokens for $10; between the slight discount and the convenience of using a single coin, tokens gained in popularity. There were also larger bus tokens, primarily for use by Atlantic City-bound buses. As E-ZPass became more widespread, tokens were phased out. Token sales were discontinued on January 1, 2002, and they were no longer accepted effective January 1, 2009.
