I think the tollbooths are there for a two fold reason…

A: The state ie: Albany and therefore NYC gets money from the tolls collected  
B: All the gas people waste by sitting in line at the tolls, well they have to buy more gas to make up for that. And what do you know, NY gets money from the taxes on gas.

(ok im not really being serious, but it makes sense dont you think)
