Staten Island residents traveling across the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge will pay less in tolls under a plan announced by Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Thursday.
Under the new pricing scheme, Staten Island drives with an EZ pass will pay $5.50 per trip, a drop from the already discounted $6 that many EZ pass users currently pay. Commercial drivers would also benefit from the plan — trucks using the bridge more than 10 times a month would see about a 20 percent cut in tolls.

 Under a plan announced Thursday by Governor Cuomo Staten Island residents will see the toll they pay for crossing the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge reduced from the current discounted EZ-pass toll of $6.00 to $5.50. 

So how come the Henry Hudson Bridge which was 10 cents to cross at the same time the Cross Bay and Marine Parkway Bridges were 10 cents costs more to cross now?

Also why is the Henry Hudson Bridge not discounted to Bronx residents as the Cross Bay & Marine Parkway Bridges and Verrazano-Narrows Bridge are Governor Cuopmo?

If you can do it for residents of Staten Island and Queens why not then for the Bronx residents.

The toll details are taken from the MTA bridge & tunnel toll information site.
