If we step back a bit from our dictionaries, fee=* as a concept is
isomorphic to toll=* (and fare) in this context. As all of them could
be understood by native speakers and fee=* covers a more general
category, it is clearly the better choice. If we consider our data
users, non-native speakers and learning curve, the less terms we use
in our vocabulary, the better.
+1.
Unite them all under one tag? charge=yes/no/* ... (one ring to rule them all
... etc)

The Oxford Dictionary says
Toll : A charge payable to use a bridge or road.
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 public
body in exchange for advice or services.
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."
