i think the appetite has always been to promote ridesharing and 'greener' alternatives
hence the EV's getting a free pass on the HOV
i don't know about express lanes working here, i don't think it will, always assume that people will pick the cheapest option
for every 1 person willing to pay, you'd find another 8 that will suck it up and take the cheap option
honestly, i think the solution to a lot of congestion mess is to root out the shitty drivers in this province and punish them severely, hell, wring every penny out of their pockets and repo their shit if that's what it takes
i'm not above lashing, tarring and feathering idiots who catch tickets like its herpes in a whorehouse

Any stats on how successful they have been down there? I don't think they'll work here. As the current clusterfuck on Hwy1 goes to show us, people are cheapfucks here.

Wow max $10 (USD) toll for a 17 mile stretch!

I wish the NDP would have just lower the toll instead of getting rid of it altogether. Find that magic price point where the bridge traffic is optimized but not congested as it is now. Vaughn Palmer: Ending bridge tolls has cost B.C. $486 million and counting
OPINION: Removing tolls will have cost $936 million by the time the next election rolls around https://vancouversun.com/news/politi...n-and-counting |

Don't get rid of it too quickly, when NDP falls, Liberals will probably reinstitute tolls.

goof off? | Goo Gone or Goof Off works. WD 40 even. I just used my plastic razor blade-type scraper to lift one corner and just peeled it away. It's pretty thick stuff. However, in this cold weather, who knows.........

Good point about cold weather. In a perfect world you would peel off a decal with the help of a razor scraper and maybe have to wipe minimal residue with a window cleaner. If not as people have already pointed too goo gone, wd 40 is great. A hair dryer if you're able to will also help to heat up the goo a bit to melt it making it easier to scrape.
