Bridge tolls have already increased by skyrocketing levels (16% each time) and funds diverted (stolen) to fund chronically dysfunctional public transit and endless fiscal black holes with ZERO accountability or fixing the underlying model.
Scott Wiener is wrong to punish hard working commuters, including trucks, plumbers, electricians and anyone who cannot take public transit (which doesn't cross most of the bay).
ALL bridge tolls already diverted should be REFUNDED back to commuters.
There should be a class action lawsuit against those who used bridge tolls for anything other than the bridges.

The GGB was supposed to be free, forever — that was its big sell to spanning the Golden Gate. Ha. The only thing that I guess is free is walking across it. Now its a private authority which costs a museum like fee to cross in a vehicle.

Wow, I agree with Andy 100%!
Transit here is very poor - look at VTA.
If anything, budgets should be reduced.
