I live in Bay Ridge and love shopping on Staten Island but that is getting harder and harder to do now that I am on a fixed income. I live on 99th Street just a few blocks from the bridge!

I have this damn bridge tattooed on my leg! I love it and I love Brooklyn/Staten Island but $17!!!! My family and I have lived in South Brooklyn for over 100 years! We shouldn't have to pay $17 dollars!

It's about time! Pretty soon it'll be $20 to go to Staten Island . How do these people sleep at night?

Bridges go two ways. It makes no sense for people on one side to be treated differently than the people on the other.

Bay Ridge is in Staten Island's back yard. There should be some discount for us

$17 is an outrageous amount to charge to cross a bridge no matter where you live

This is unfair and is deterring me from traveling into Staten Island and NJ. It is a form of taxation

$17 round trip on ANY bridge is robbery. I do business in Brooklyn, Staten Island, and NJ so these tolls are a real detriment to my business.

There are 2 sides to the bridge. Shouldn't Brooklyn people get a break also since the Bridge connects us to S.I. AND major roads to Jersey. We should be entitled to a break also because Brooklyn Nites use the Bridge heavy also. Thank you Vinnie Gentile for your strong efforts in changing this for Brooklyn.

Unfair toll hikes! This bridge was supposed to be free once it was paid for!

I live in Dyker heights. Can see the bridge from my house. I pay everyday to go to work. Every weekend to go see family. My son goes to csi college. It's like a mortgage. A single mom trying to make it
