Two of the U.S. cities where the most people take a motorcycle to work are in Washington: 1.5% of the population in Vashon and 1.3% of the population in Bainbridge Island.upleft t1_j38bpuk wrote
This makes a lot of sense - motorcycles skip ferry lines in WA, and are cheaper than a walk-on fare.

Motorcycles are $7.45, each way. Passengers are $9.45, westbound. So bikes are not cheaper than passengers, for commuters.

On Vashon everyone pays only when going to the island, no one pays leaving the island. Passengers are a bit less than motorcycles.

Motorcycles are no charge departing from Vashon.
Bainbridge you have to pay both ways for motorcycles though.

Do I infer correctly pedestrians are free eastbound? Note I see a lot of motorcycle traffic on I90, I5 and around the east side (Kirkland, Redmond, Bellevue, Bothell etc) so this does not surprise me.
