I'm sorry but this has got to be the stupidest idea I've ever heard, and every time I hear it on these boards I just want to bash something against a brick wall.
First of all, it will never happen.
Second of all, if you're going to go to the trouble of such a thing, why in the world would you waive the fee for Torontonians???
You know, Torotoninas pay taxes to maintain and various other fees to maintain their highways. I mean, why should out of town riders get a fee ride on the Gardiner while Torontonains are paying $500 Million to make sure it doesn't collapse on itself?
Now whether or not it makes economical sense to charge non-Torontonains is something that should be debated.
I agree. This us vs them thing needs to stop. Many Torontonians also use their own municipal highways, as well as 905 roads.
If municipalities outside of Toronto need money to pay to maintain their roads I'm not at all against tolling Torontonains for that. It's unfair to use the road network and not expect to contribute a dime if needed.
