Consider this one of my “I have to know” articles but in my recent trip to Long Island, I had to cross both the George Washington and Throgs Neck Bridge going both ways. Traveling from New Jersey to New York, you have to pay a toll for both bridges and on the way back, you only have to pay for the Throgs Neck Bridge. Unlike your standard $0.50 or $1 toll booth, these guys aren’t cheap. The George Washington toll is $8.00 and the Throgs Neck toll is $5.50. Round trip, I paid $19.00 in tolls and it got me to wondering just how much these toll booths collect each and every day. On the George Washington Bridge, there are 23 cash toll booths as well as 8 EZ pass booths. That means at any given time, 31 different collection points are established, taking in $8.00.
