Bridge Toll Increases in Bay Area Affect Motos
Date: Jan.28.2010
The price to cross most Bay Area bridges is going up starting July 1, 2010. Bay Bridge to $6 during commute hours, and the price for driving across the other six bridges to $5.
On the Bay Bridge, drivers crossing during weekday commute hours - 5am-10am and 3pm-7pm - will pay $6. During other weekday hours, the toll will remain at $4. On weekends, it will rise to $5. The toll will increase to $5 at all times on the Dumbarton, San Mateo, Richmond-San Rafael, Carquinez, Benicia-Martinez and Antioch bridges. Carpoolers on all bridges will see their free ride end, as they're charged $2.50, motorcycles included. The increase is estimated to generate $160 million dollars in additional revenue.
The Golden Gate Bridge, which is owned and controlled by an independent district, is not affected.
