I'll pay for tolls or higher property tax or gas tax or levy etc. if there is enough transit.

But we can't get better transit until we have more revenue.
And on and on and on it goes.

Tolls by themselves don't reduce congestion they never have and never will. But they do provide a steady stream of revenue. They can depending on the circumstance make someone think twice before crossing that tolled bridge. Do they really need to go over to some other city to go shopping etc.
