Elitism? Hardly call it that. Bridge employees get an opprotunity a year to bring someone up. And knowing someone consists of that someone being and Office Clerk, Welding Inspector, Toll Worker, or in my case Engineer. Each of which brought 1-2 people. Not a single movie star or politico up there. In fact we met the bridge Director on our way off the bridge, she's never been up there. Not as if more could fit, or could they open it to the general public. Not ADA accessible in the slightest, ladders, hatches, etc. Kind of like the employee priviledge of bringing someone to work to tour a beer factory - but with a view. Or someone taking you to tour the military base they get stationed on. Like the picture I have of my Mom and Sis standing next to an F-18 - I just had access to the runway when they came to visit. I didn't fly them, I just just changed bulbs on the taxiway they were on.
And considering it is the most photographed bridge in the world, I doubt there are many of that shepard hook bend.
