$6, billed electronically to vehicle's license plate; for details, see www.goldengate.org/tolls; 28, all
Golden Gate Transit buses) by architects Gertrude and Irving Murrow and engineer Joseph B
Strauss. Photographers, take your cue from Hitchcock: seen from Fort Point ( MAP
GOOGLE MAP ; 415-556-1693; www.nps.gov/fopo ; Marine Dr; admission free; 10am-5pm Fri-
Sun; ; 28), the 1937 bridge induces a thrilling case of vertigo. Fog aficionados prefer
