The bridge used to cost a lot, a couple decades ago. Last I was there it was like 5 bucks round trip. I'm sure it has to be at least $10 by now. Does that mean you have to pay for the bridge and then another $15? Quoting: Jay3 what a racket If you have EZpass it's 11.75 over the GWB. Without EZpass it's $15. So you pay for the bridge and then another $15. And don't forget about parking. ______________ As long as I am an American citizen and American blood runs in these veins I shall hold myself at liberty to speak, to write, and to publish whatever I please on any subject.” - Elijah Parish Lovejoy(1802-1837) All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent...Thomas Jefferson The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government...Thomas Jefferson When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty...Thomas Jefferson Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pains to bring it to light...George Washington |

Most bridges have a walking path to cross the river into Manhattan so park you car and walk across. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 86830218 I used to ride my ebike across the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges. The cold felt crossing those bridges during the winters is unbearable. By the time I made it over the bridges, my fingers were frostbitten. Rev El. Haitian Revelation |

Finally was able to get the hell out! Haven’t looked back! Only thing I miss is the food and the busy city vibe sometimes, the anonymity of being in a big city. Out in Rural U.S. now and love it, wish the food was better and the women were prettier,etc. Lol! Even if I had multi millions I wouldn’t live in NYC, too expensive, too crowded, dirty, cops looking to ticket you everywhere, red light cameras, ez-pass, speed/Radar cameras, no where to park, recent congestion pricing(extra $15/Day), bike lanes no one hardly uses! Subways are a mess and unsafe! People were always rushed, rude and thought very highly of themselves, especially the women Gold-Diggers! Was once a cool city, damn shame! The architecture, engineering and infrastructure of a big city is always to be marvelled at due to it’s scale and size I suppose! That is a big draw! I guess everything dies eventually. R.i.p. NYC! |

If there is a definite error with the tickets you should be able to get them dismissed. He probalbly purposely wrote the tickets wrong to get credit for writing 3 tickets knowing you would get them dismissed. Not all the cops are J-offs, lol. Good luck! There is a monthly quota for tickets that they never admit too! We had a saying in NYC that would go: “ It must be the End of the Month!” Meaning the cops had to get their ticket quotas up before the first of the following month! That’s why the decent cops would make a mistake on purpose sometimes. |

They make you lose a day of work to go in person to fight it! A-lot of people just pay them because the know traffic court is a “Kangaroo-Court!”( meaning it’s a joke or a circus). I guess it depends not only on principle but how much the 3 tickets add up to versus a day of pay? Sometimes the judges are turds also! Wish you the best of luck! |

No helmets, riding on sidewalks(arrest-able in NYC), don’t stop for red lights or yield to pedestrians, etc. i used to drive an 80K pound commercial truck all around NYC and almost crushed a couple of bikers for not yield and being in my blind spots! I saw a few accidents where the bikers ran into pedestrians and hurt them badly, the ebikes can get up to pretty fast speeds! I also saw police giving tickets to cyclists not yielding or stopping for red lights. Bikes are great if the are careful and follow the rules. |
