It is getting increasingly difficult to visit my family and provide support in babysitting due to these toll hikes. I live in Bay Ridge and would very much appreciate the opportunity to benefit from the same toll discount as SI residents.

This bridge was to be free crossing originally the price is so high and the fact that there is no residence on both sides getting a break is not fair. Lord help the little guy

Makes no sense- my daughter works in Staten Island- she must get there just like a staten islander who works in brooklyn- we are one state- why twice the price?

Not fair, Brooklyn is part of an island as well and has to pay more than SI residence. Discrimination against the poor that can't afford to live in SI.

Give us a break I have my family who lives on the other side and visit them every weekend. Please help us. The first night I went over the bridge with my family the toll was only 50 cents now $17 give the working class a break

My son attends a special needs high school in Staten Island & time to time I need to drive him to school. We live in Dyker Heights & the bridge is right down my block. We should not have to pay the full fare.

No reason why toll should be this high, its unfair and it should be illegal.

That bridge was to be free for all, once the cost of building it was paid off. What ever happened to that!?
