Golden Gate Bridge Toll Plaza

Golden Gate Bridge Toll Plaza (San Francisco)


Original toll was $0.50 + 0.05/per additional passenger. Gas delivery to cars who run out on the bridge was $0.50 for the first gallon, $0.30 for each additional gallon.
The bridge was supposed to be free after a few years of toll charging had paid for building it.
Now, 70 years later, plans for an $8 per car toll are already set. www.sfmuseum.org/hist10/ggtolls.html
FasTrak (www.bayareafastrak.org/) an automatic toll-collection transponder offers a $1 discount.

Over 70% of GGB users use FasTrak, which reduces the wait time at the toll plaza.
Unlike other Bay Area bridges, this bridge is run by the GGB Highway & Transportation District and can set its own toll schedule.
free if 4+ passengers in your car
