Depends mostly on the toll I imagine.  In Sanfransico you have the option of
avoiding the toll on the Golden gate by driving the long way round, but the
toll is low enough and the drive is far enough that few people bother.

Tony, Tony, Tony, WAKE UP!  As a person who does artisan type deliveries in
a small truck, who works on the North Shore, lives in Vancouver, and delivers
