    Most East River crossings charge no toll at all. Midtown Tunnel and TriBoro Bridge are exceptions.

    Pretty reasonable overview from about a year ago.

    When I was a kid, my dad would drive us into Manhattan and I had only a vague idea that the midtown tunnel existed, because he'd only take the free 59th Street Bridge

    The tunnel is luxury!

    You should see the bumper-to-bumper nightclubbers stuck an hour at a time on the Williamsburg Bridge Fridays and Saturdays.

    So near! And yet so far!

    How does a non-Rockefeller even afford to park in Manhattan?

    No idea.

    And no idea where all those people are going.

    I refuse to drive over that bridge. I don't want to be the unlucky one who is on it when it finally collapses like an old erector set.

    what’s worse is they had Democrats on the record and they didn’t use the quotes

    Trucks tolls for the GW bridge and NYC tunnels are so expensive I can't bring myself to post them.

    I drove over the Williamsburg this past weekend, the biggest danger wasn't the steel but the idiot cyclists doing wheelies through traffic.

    Except for the fact it’s been successful everywhere it’s been tried.

    NYC isn't everywhere and proud of it as you know, Mr. Bridge.
