We just had a toll bridge set up here in Seattle. We've had ferry's which cost money, and one other toll bridge for the last 10 years or so at the Tacoma Narrows bridge which I never go on, and avoid.

Now they've added a toll on the 520 bridge to pay for construction on that bridge, and I have not taken the bridge since long before that started. I moved closer to work because my commute used to take me over that bridge, and my commute is worse because most people don't take the toll bridge and take the northern route around Lake Washington which impacts my current commute...adding perhaps 5-15 minutes to it.

We already have one of the highest gas taxes here in Washington State, and adding tolls on top of that would really suck.
