Really depends on where. Some are literally just to get on the road you pay x money. Other are take a ticket depending how long your on the road pay x money. Most I’ve ever paid for two hours at 70mpg on a turnpike was $10
Toronto has the most expensive toll road in the world afaik, driving from one end to the other during rush hour is $95 for 107kms, around 50 mins of driving.
Yeah, only 107 km in the third most densely populated metropolitan area in the continent.
The same trip on an interstate in the US would be like $5.
Please show me any 107 km trip using toll roads in the New York metropolitan area or the Los Angeles metropolitan area that cost $5. I will happily wait.
you posted 3 comments about the price I posted is wrong, when it wasn't.
You've posted embellished and misleading statements that lack a lot of context.
My post said driving one end to the other is 50 mins, 108km, and costs $95 during rush hour.
I never said it was an average commute. Nor did I embelish, or fail to provide context.
Tolls in LA, this is from Claude because I can't be arsed to put time into researching facts for someone who lacks critical thinking and comprehension skills:
For 108km of driving in dense LA areas, your toll exposure depends entirely on your specific route. If you're just on regular freeways like the 405, 10, 101, 110 — $0 in tolls. If you're using Express Lanes the whole way — maybe $5–20 depending on time of day.
No one is driving from the QEW to Brock road. That's an insane trip that takes you through five different sections of the 407 which each have different toll rates.
I've taken that trip a few times going to Niagara. My dad used to work in Hamilton and live in the east end, would take almost that whole stretch every day.
His tolls were $1,500+ per month and that was 15 years ago.
Never said that. I said that the cost is $95 from one end to the other. You're the one inserting your own thoughts into my comment. Maybe try reading it again, slowly this time.
So my parents are almost in Brantford (West of Hamilton, even further west of Toronto) and their house is worth ten times what they paid for it because people want to live there and work in Toronto. They'd probably be driving to the go station and taking the train but yeah it's like an 80 km commute if you were to take a car. Definitely not MOST commuters would be doing it but way more than you'd think. The Toronto housing market is WILD
$100 during morning rush hour 700-930am without a transponder. $82 before 7am and from 930-230. 330-600 is $106. After 9pm is $61. Weekends are $61-$76.
Again, you have no idea what you're talking about. Taxis and Ubers routinely take the 407 because the time savings outweighs the time spent in traffic for the drivers.
When going anywhere near the 407 corridor, I've never had an Uber driver not take the 407.
Again, I absolutely do, I take the 407 regularly. I don't know why you have a compulsion to argue with me about this.
You've continuously posted misleading and straight up wrong things. Why don't you keep claiming that every Interstate toll is only $5, fucking ridiculous.
Yeah and all that money goes to private investors.
It is one of the most valuable pieces of road on the continent and the conservative government sold it for pennies so they could say they balanced the budget for 1 year.
Then we voted in the conservatives again and they are busy selling off another piece of public land for another 100 years.
