Member Contributer 2FAST4U Posted May 3, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted May 3, 2015 LOL. I swear, tolls up there are such a rip-off. It costs something like $15 to cross the George Washington bridge. Ditto for the Joe Verrazano bridge. Tolls for the Throgs Neck and (I forget the name of the bridge to get to the Rockaways) seem cheap in comparison (they're like $8). They try to get money off you every way they can. And don't even get me started on the exorbitant state and local income taxes up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get YOU started? -WE- have to deal with it because we LIVE here. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarantzManiac Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 I dont think they've come out with toll prices for the new Tappan Zee bridge now being constructed. I'm sure the $5 toll will seem like a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roebling3 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Remember when you had to pay both ways? You're getting twice as much for half the price! :) As in so many ways: Grin and bear it. Major transponder/billing issue here had accounts running in the thousands for 3, 4 bridge trips in a passenger car. Huge multiplying penalties after 30 days unpaid, with a threat you'll lose your license Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer 2FAST4U Posted May 3, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted May 3, 2015 Yeah, and right before they said you'd only have to pay going one way is when they came up with a plan to double the price. What a deal. Seriously, it's been a while since I lived there (or spent a lot of time there) but I just couldn't get over how much the tolls were for roads, tunnels, bridges, etc. It's a major rip-off.
