While that's true, it doesn't explain why it costs less a third to cross the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge than it does the George Washington Bridge even though the Bay Bridge is a much larger bridge. It's pretty clear that there's some gouging going on on the part of the PA. The GWB is the only allowed truck access into Manhattan from the west so there's really no way around paying the toll and the PA knows it.
