People will do anything if they get pushed hard enough including "riding bikes across the bridge to avoid paying an extra $1." Then the Golden Gate Bridge will start charging $7:00 toll for Bike and pedestrian traffic.....

So I ask myself...Hmmmm. If less people cross the bridge what does that do to the revenue needed to meet the budget gap. No need to worry though, I doubt driving habits will change due to this increase. I can't believe they actually think people will start riding bikes across the bridge to avoid paying an extra $1.
