That’s mere ‘chump change’.....try NY’s Verrazano bridge toll extortion at $13.00 a pop.

Here is something for you to chew on, some statistics on the Verrazano Bridge:

In 2008, about 190,000 vehicles used the bridge per day on average.

As of December 2011, the one-way toll (paid westbound into Staten Island only) in cash is $13 per car or $5.50 per motorcycle. E-ZPass users with transponders issued by the New York E-ZPass Customer Service Center pay $9.60 per car or $4.18 per motorcycle; a five-axle truck pays $70, or $47.26 with NY E-ZPass. Holders of transponders issued elsewhere get no discount

I figure that to a be minimum of 80,000 tolls collected each day at $13+ or $1,040,000/day in toll collections.
