Many students travel from Brooklyn to CSI, Wagner, and St. John's. This is way too much for them to have to pay.

I live a short distance from the bridge and visit friends in SI often. The increasing toll is a deterrent and I travel to SI less frequently now and it will be worse in the future.

This toll was only supposed to be in effect until the bridge was paid for... it's been 50 years for god sake!! I'd say it's been paid for many times over.

Absolutely a ridiculous amount of money and to give SI a discount! Bull crap. People can't afford to eat and furthermore, it's certainly not going into the upkeep. It's been a nightmare since I can remember in the '70s.

Expensive for people who work and live in different areas. This bridge was never suppose to be this price. Making it even harder to afford a New York lifestyle

We deserve a break. Bring back the middle class to Brooklyn. Stop raising everything but our salaries.

I live in Staten Island but can never get friends or family to visit because the toll requires an arm and a leg to cross the bridge
