On Wednesday, the Golden Gate Bridge will become the first in California to accept only electronic payment for bridge tolls, either with FasTrak, a license plate account or through pre-payments. We discuss what the changes mean for commuters and tourists, and we talk with a soon-to-be-unemployed toll taker about the end of the era of personal service on the iconic bridge.

Guests:

Jacquie Dean, toll taker at the Golden Gate Bridge

Denis Mulligan, general manager and CEO of the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District
