backers of the plansot john grubb/bay area council 30-36 there's projects that target the entire region, north bay, south bay east bay, san francisco and the peninsula, everyone should be seeing improvements.john grubb is with the bay area council,, which backs the toll hike. he says the idea is to reduce traffic gridlock by expanding improving troubled interchanges, adding express lanes, and improving public transit that includes hundreds of more bart cars and an expansion of ferry service sotwe're talking 20-30 new boats and they could be up and running and you could take a ferry from anywhere in the north bay to silicon valley employersultimately it will be for commuters to decide sot 123/we know we need

( steve ) keep in mind... the golden gate bridge is not affected in this proposal so we will not touch it. so what happens if this hike goes through? right now the tolls for every bridge except the bay bridge are at five dollars. add three dollars to that... and you're looking at 40 dollars a week in bridge tolls. so if you cross the bay 5-days a week for an entire year... you are looking at close to 21-hundred dollars in tolls every year. ( steve ) now the bay bridge is a different story. the toll varies depending upon the time of the day.

if you drive at peak times... it is 6-dollars. so the toll could be 9-dollars. if you crossed it 5-days a week for an entire year... you're looking at over 23- hundred dollars in tolls.
