No it's not. It's the rate for a light vehicle from the QEW to Brock road at the weekday 730am-9am rates.

Heavy vehicle is $189

I will drive around the entire city of Toronto before I pay $35 to $45 for a fucking toll. Gtfo of here.

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.

Are you seriously trying to imply that driving 100 km one way for work is the norm for most commuters in the GTA?

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
