> For example, there are people with disabilities who can't take trains. I have no issue with providing an exemption from tolls for people with disabilities to go across bridges. > There are workers who live in areas of Queens or Brooklyn not covered well by the Subway. So use the money to build better subway coverage. That's part of what I was suggesting. > There are tourists who want to drive into the city from neighboring states. Then they can pay the tolls. Even if tolls went up to $20 each way they would be a small part of the cost of staying in NYC with a car for a day, and for a tourist it's a one-or-two time cost. To put this in perspective, we frequently ticket or tow tourists' cars. About half the people who have visited me by car have gotten ticketed or towed while visiting. It's a mess. If you want to fix the tourist driving experience, I'd look to that long before I'd care about bridge tolls.
