Aren't most of the bridges in NYC toll bridges? You would think that with the money they collect in tolls they could build a new bridge with no problem.

the toll money goes to subsidize mass transit, and pay the pensions of the TBTA and MTA workers.

Last toll I paid on a NYC bridge was $10, this to drive half a mile. It's a racket. They always want more, and the East Coast sheeple always pay.

PS: California is equally bad, trust me.

No, just some of the major bridges are toll bridges.

This bridge is 15 - 20 miles north of the northern limit of NY City.

Most of the bridges within NYC are toll-free, at least they were the last time I was there, 2004. All the East and Harlem River bridges, about ten or more, are toll free. Not to mention all the small bridges over various waterways that wend through B'klyn, Queens and the Bronx. Verazano, Whitestone, Throggs Neck, Tri-Borough, Vets Mem. and Gil Hodges are toll. Bridges that go from the city to NJ...Goethals, Outerbridge Crossing and George Washington are toll.
