Yep. Also, in the UK, carries legal implications. Legislation is required
to require tolls on a
public highway.
Fee : A payment made to a professional person or to a professional or

That's how I'd use it. Of course, ferries provide a ferry service, so fee
could be used. But I'd go
with something else: fare. We don't talk of rail tolls or rail fees, we
talk of rail fares. We don't talk
of air tolls or air fees, we talk of air fares. From OED online: "The
money paid for a journey on
public transport."
