Only government dependent urban liberals use the GWB.

That would explain why they had nicer vehicles than mine.

Sometimes the GWB is the best (particularly late night early morning)

Depends on the time and mission (and Waze)

Hahaha
Back in the winter -spring of 1983-84 I drove to Bayonne NJ almost weekly to play my marching snare drum, leaving Friday evening.
At 1st I was taking rt 95 and eventually over the GW, through NY throughway and eventually to the Jersey turnpike.
Every trip down was an adventure going over that piece of crap bridge and there was always cars on fire, cars on blocks, cars being stripped....
If you ever broke down you were screwed !!!
Started taking 84 to the Tappanzee-garden state pkw
Much better ride.
Been making that trip a handful of times recently and will be a handful more time over the next few months.
The last thing I want to do is go over the GW late at night !!!
The Tappanzee bridge is brand new now also.

I remember one time waiting over an hour to get on the bridge from NJ at midnight.

I make a lot of trips up to the Cape throughout the year. Generally, leaving NJ between 4-5AM I don't have a problem with the GWB/Cross Bronx.
Back in the late 70's-80's sometimes I'd avoid the GWB/CB completely, and take the Verrazzano, drive to Orient Point and take the ferry!
