Exactly. Same with Waze telling me to get off of 101 at Trimble, just to take Central, stoplights and all, to Lawrence instead of just driving all the way to Lawrence...
I don't have big problem with tolls, as long s they are not on taxpayer-funded roads, and actually get you something. Not just the privilege of crossing the bay instead of driving around the Bay.
Yes, please, stay on 101. Central is a myth. It doesn't exist. And if it did, there would be dragons.
OT: I'm livid at all the efforts to punish drivers for driving (like the toll etc). We aren't driving for fun! I bet most of us would prefer not driving. I try to work from home when possible because driving in commute hours is a terrible waste of time.
