Considering the tolls have gone up, and we’re not even sure where they’re going, a lot of people are grumbling about taking the Port Authority-controlled bridges and tunnels to New York.
So are you taking the train more?
The New York Times reported this week that traffic on the George Washington Bridge is down by 890,000 cars — or 4 percent — since cash tolls jumped from $8 to $12 in September.
At the same time, according data the Times collected from the Port Authority, traffic on the PATH rose by 560,000 riders — about 3.7 percent.
