BREAK YO' SELF!! Bay Area Bridge tolls to go up July 1st, 2010

[BETO916]

Bridge managers today approved raising tolls by at least a dollar on the seven state-owned bridges in the Bay Area beginning July 1. Tolls will go from $4 to $5 on the Richmond-San Rafael, Zampa, Benicia, Antioch, Dumbarton and San Mateo bridges.

The San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge will see tolls rise from $4 to $6 during peak commute times. During non-commute hours on weekdays, the toll will remain at $4 on the Bay Bridge. It will cost $5 to cross the bridge on weekends.

Carpoolers will now have to pay $2.50 during commute hours on all seven bridges.

Bay Area Toll Authority managers say the changes will raise $160 million in additional revenue needed to pay for seismic retrofits on the Antioch and Dumbarton bridges. The extra funds also will offset higher borrowing and operating costs.

The Golden Gate Bridge, which is run by a separate agency, will not be affected.

naw

all the bridges, except the golden gate, connect to the east bay..... you pay when you cross a bridge from the east bay

on the golden gate bridge, you pay getting into SF... and they charge more than the rest of the bridges last time i checked

Das right, ain't no bridges up in deep East Steakfrica!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[f31roger]

Yeah, I used to barely go across a bridge, but I started to for part time work and I just get fuckin fastrak.

I use Golden Gate (to take friends and go hiking), Bay Bridge (part time work) and San Mateo bridge (part time work)...

I've been on the other bridges just to go across em (dumbarton and san rafael).

The need to fix the Bay Bridge and make traffic flow better in the morning going to SF. I usually leave oakland and go to San Mateo.. but one morning, I decided to go to the Bay Bridge..and that was a 1.5hr fuckin mistake.

in new york you have to pay going in and out of Manhattan, 7.50 each time, that was almost 4 years ago when i did it. Also a lot of the eastern US uses toll roads, where u pay a lot or a little depending on how long ur on the toll road for.
