Bridges around San Francisco are around $20.00 if towing a car but only charged one way.
When I lived in San Jose and would visit my brother in the north bay (Petaluma) I would go north on the Golden Gate Bridge and go south on the Richmond/San Raphael Bridge. I did not have to pay any tolls by driving clockwise around the bay.
I have never been able to figure out the advantage of toll roads (I assume they are owned by private companies) versus public roads (paid for by taxpayers). Or am I missing something?
I started driving in 1969 and have never paid a toll except for the SF/Oakland Bay Bridge (westbound only)
