BRIDGE TOLLS are collected when crossing in one direction only -- when exiting from San Francisco onto the Golden Gate Bridge ($6) or the Bay Bridge ($4) and when going from Point Richmond towards Marin County over the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge ($4). Crossing the other direction is free. The tolls listed are for a 2-axle vehicle. All three bridges offer free passage to carpools, each bridge having its own criteria and timing for this free passage.
