==Comparisons== "Bridge and tunnel" was later adopted in [[San Francisco]] in reference to party-goers who live outside San Francisco,<ref>{{cite news|publisher=San Francisco Examiner|title= About his narcissistic helpless universe|author=Sonny Smith|date=2008-09-30}}</ref> as a reference to this original usage. Residents of the [[San Francisco Peninsula|Peninsula]] and [[South Bay (San Francisco Bay Area)|South Bay]] take commuter trains ([[Caltrain]] or [[BART]], each of which has several tunnels) and freeways ([[Interstate 280 (California)|I-280]] and [[US 101]], which do not) to visit city hot-spots but do not actually live in San Francisco. Residents from the [[East Bay (San Francisco Bay Area)|East Bay]] typically drive or take a bus across the [[San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge|Bay Bridge]] (and [[Yerba Buena Tunnel]]) to reach San Francisco, or take BART through the [[Transbay Tube]]. The commute into San Francisco from [[Marin County]] also involves a bridge (the [[Golden Gate Bridge|Golden Gate]]) and the [[Robin Williams Tunnel]]'''.''' In [[Southern California]], the term "[[Area code 909|909er]]" (a reference to [[area code]] 909) has come to have a similar, derogatory meaning for people coming from areas inland of [[Los Angeles]], [[Orange County, California|Orange County]], and [[Riverside County, California|Riverside County]], which historically had the 909 area code.{{citation needed|date=June 2013}} The term has been adopted in [[Boston]] to refer to young people who reside outside of Boston's core neighborhoods of [[Back Bay]], [[Bay Village, Boston|Bay Village]], [[Beacon Hill, Boston|Beacon Hill]], [[Leather District]], [[South End, Boston|South End]], [[North End, Boston|North End]], and the [[West End, Boston|West End]]. Given Boston's natural and manmade geography, individuals from other neighborhoods in Boston must access the city's social center via one of the various bridges or tunnels that lead into central Boston. [[https://www.mass.gov/info-details/the-big-dig-tunnels-and-bridges]] In [[Southern Ontario]], the term "[[Area code 905|905er]]" (a reference to [[Area Code]] 905) has come to have a similar meaning for the suburb area surrounding Toronto-proper, including areas such as York Region, Pickering, and Oshawa.{{citation needed|date=June 2013}}
