As there's no alternative in public transport (that I'm aware of), if you charge $50 to cross the bridge, you will make it impossible to work in SF for people living North and earning below a certain threshold.
So these people will either have to move, or find a different job. That seems like a somewhat extreme outcome.
Offering attractive alternatives to commuting by car might be a better way to reduce congestion on the roads.
Public transport (BART + AC Transit) already carries the majority of transbay traffic, so I don't understand your claim that there is no alternative to driving.
