Default E-ZPass issue

Just returned from a 115th anniversary event and had my E-ZPass in my chest pocket, as suggested at the location I got it from. Damn bar never rose. Eventually I think someone flipped a switch to open the gate.

Anyone else have problems with the motorcycle pass? Any idea on how to prevent it from happening again? This was my first time using it and had hoped it would actually work.

What did the EZ Pass people say when you described the problem to them?

Sometimes the transponder has to face more up than forward.

I gave E-ZPass a call once I got home but their office was closed. And after the gate went up I just left since it wasn't really safe to stop anywhere. Nor did I see anyone to stop for.

Planning on giving them a call tomorrow. I'll ask about the direction of the transponder.

The device that reads the pass is above the toll booth on the NYSThruway so maybe unobstructed and forward on your bike would work?
