Good point about the tolls. So in Northern California, if you cross the Bay Bridge or the Golden Gate Bridge as part of your daily commute—assuming a 5 day/week workweek in the office for historical purposes but as a caveat, this may be inaccurate in the present—you can easily spend between $1500 and $2K/year in bridge tolls. BART is also an option, but is in the same ballpark at about $1500-1700 depending on how many days of the year you work and that’s assuming a West Oakland to Embarcadero commute so it only goes up from there if you live and work further from those stations. Maybe you end up not having to pay for parking on the other side though if you live near the station, although some people end up having to pay for parking at a BART garage. Transportation is expensive.
