They will pick up another fare going back, and that fare will pay the toll. Otherwise they collect one toll twice. And remember this is ridesharing. Last time I took one from the airport, the driver was telling me that he worked near the airport and picked up a fare going in his direction for the ride home, so in the traditional ride share he might have already been going that way. Getting the toll one way is a bonus, but getting it twice is greedy.
