Of interest, though you probably do not qualify MTA Staten IslandVerrazano Car Pool rate has a switch on the transponder for carpool and non-carpool rate and is enforced by review of the picture taken when passing under the readers.
These are good points, although the innumerable combinations can be dizzying. It will be interesting to see if the PANYNJ ever implements their carpool plan in the same way as the MTA.

And it's useful at the Bayonne Bridge, which no longer has the PANYNJ carpool option due to the elimination of the tollbooths.
