»In which we hand it over

I do not think that four-dollar tolls are too much to pay for driving over the Bay's Bridges (excepting, perhaps, the Hayward-San Mateo: you couldn't pay me enough to drive over that). I blame mis-management for the third rise in seven years (in 1998, the toll was $1): paying for ice-cream castles sure ain't cheap. The Golden Gate Bridge, which suffers under its own transit authority rather than the state's, will have the opportunity to raise its rates, currently starting at $5, separately.
The Portland TriMet may squeeze out of a $48k lawsuit, thanks to the statue of limitations. A bus and its unruly passengers whacked a cyclist on the Hawthorne Bridge.
