The Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District is increasing its toll rates and transit fares effective Thursday.
The FasTrak rate on the Golden Gate Bridge will rise from $7.70 to $8.05, the Pay-As-You-Go rate from $8.40 to $8.60 and toll invoices from $8.70 to $9.05.
The price change is a part of a five-year toll program approved in 2019 to keep up with bridge maintenance and sustain bus transit and ferry services.
Just until the bridge is paid for…….
Just remember we don’t own this bridge. This bridge was built by money from a bank in New Zealand.
And 5 Cents? Seriously? Come On!
That’s almost as bad as adding 9/10 of a cent to a gallon of gas.

Agree. More than likely they are using some percentage for the calculation. They need to change the formula to round it to the nearest .50
how much more do you want to pay for stuff?

What happened to all the money they saved when they fired 34 toll takers? Maybe they should start charging pedestrians and bicyclists.
+1
lol
and sustain bus transit and ferry services.<<<<
that is the real reason
we pay to sustain union workers
we are the union atm
well done voters you now force us to pay for unions and illegals and criminals and bums
while our children are preyed upon and abused and schooled to hate you as a parent
how to destroy america let the people do it themselves by being petty and ignorant and manipulated by sharp tongued dem politicians who create disaster and make us pay to fix it
even if its made up and fraudulent
but hey you wanted this
they have been headin this direction for over 50 years now
i guess you werent so bright when the s & L bank blew up and took all your savings ….
and you the went straight dimwittedly into accepting politician lies and agendas like prop 13 that made the people that are imposing critical race theory on our american children like little anarchist robots
again you won yay
nicely done
oh and next is sales tax at 12%
laugh thats only the beginning
the masks and lockdowns are coming back and your neighbors will be paid to rat on you if you dont wear it to take out the garbage
Ahhh, the parent hating classes takes me back. I enjoyed that class. /end sarcasm
Why should ANY motorist crossing that bridge have to support bus transit or ferry???
If those modes of transportation cannot sustain on their own = let them FAIL!!!
It’s only an excuse that most people won’t question. gavin newsom is only governor due to election fraud.

Unfortunately for us they’re all tied together as
The Golden Gate Highway and Transportation
District.
I’ve lived here 50 years and have never gone over the GGB and don’t plan too so they can raise it as high as they want I could care less.
Poor suckers who choose to commute over bridges!
I think your comment is uncalled for. Marin is a beautiful place, I use to live in Marinwood. I worked in the City, but took the Golden Gate Bus. My ex husband did drive, but since he was in sales he had a car allowance. When we wanted a bigger house we moved to Foster City, not necessarily because of the bridge toll, we had several friends in the area, and it was closer to my ex husbands work.
Many that live in Marin do so because they have been there for years, perhaps grew up there, or have family there.
Having said that I think the bridge toll is too much, it won’t stop me from crossing the bridge, but I don’t have to often, don’t think I crossed it since I lived on the Peninsula.
I knew someone years ago that was a supervisor on the maintenance crew for that bridge and he said those workers did not put in a full day, long lunches and long breaks. He went to those in charge and they did not care. So now they want to raise the rates. How about shaping up your maintenance crew, oh sorry, that would mean you would have to work.Why not soak people for more money, after all it is not there money that is being wasted.
How do they justify this?? Where is this money going? They don’t pay toll takers anymore. This is literally highway robery!
Wouldn’t it be bridge robbery… haha
The state is giving away billions so we have to raise the tolls. We are in so much trouble in this state. Everyday they come up with more BS.
Time to go back to putting on paper plates. likelihood you get caught is very low and the ticket would still be cheaper than paying bridge toll every day. And you only have to take the plate off just to get across the bridge then you can put it back on if you really wanted to be that cheap.
Those new toll lanes have to be paid for somehow.
Give me money. That’s what I want.
Lots of money. That’s what I want.
That’s what I waaaant. That’s what I want.
That’s hard on people who have to come into the city to work. Contractors who have take the bridge, then pay for parking . Can’t afford to live there, now they are making it to expensive to work there.
This is RIDICULOUS!! Our bridge fares are already excessive!!
I’m not saying there is a correlation, but the GGB toll as a percentage of the CA state minimum wage has increased from 30% in 1968 to 61% today. It was as high as 75% in 2016.
Golden Gate Bridge District Ups Toll Fares, Transit Fees To As High As $9.05 …

Oh Great! Somebody go drive back to town and get a sh*tload of nickels!
