We just returned from a trip back east and as part of that trip, we went into Brooklyn twice from New Jersey. I almost fell out of the driver’s seat when I had to pay $15 in tolls for each roundtrip. I can understand paying tolls to maintain the roadway, but one bridge was $6 and the other was $9. That’s completely outrageous.
Hehe, San Fran is pretty bad too, not only do they charge you coming into the city on the Bay bridge, but also going out the Golden Gate.
I used to get around the whole toll charge in the Bay Area when I was in college. I’d head north on the Golden Gate and come back on the Bay bridge. No charge! (Or was it the other way around?) Hey, I was a poor college student and gas was cheaper back then.
