Golden Ears Bridge
 

Holy moley, $4 to cross the new bridge in Pitt Meadows, Vancouver? :eek:

That's a bit expensive isn't it. Can anybody tell me if that's each way or does it include a return crossing?

Thats one way I believe. Cheaper if you get a transponder, it is actually worth it even at that price, due to the horrendous round trip at present.

Re: Golden Ears Bridge
 

I do not think the OP is telling a complete story. With a transponder leased for $1 per month it's $2.85 per crossing which may well be made up by the savings in time, gas and auto wear.
Humber Bridge GBP 2.70 and Severn Bridge GBP 5.40 ($5.08 and $10.34 respectively).

Re: Golden Ears Bridge
 

I can totally understand the value of time saving BUT i'm shocked it's that steep, especially if it's chargeable each way. :blink:

Shame they're dumping the Albion Ferry though.

I'm over there in just over a week so it'll be interesting to have a nosey at it. Heck, i'll even get to sample it in the 30 day free period :D

I misread at first, thought you typed trampoline. It could be something to consider though :lol:

Re: Golden Ears Bridge
 

Well it'll actually be $3.85 per crossing using the transponder ;)

Severn Bridge is a rip off too.

I'm just curious as to whether it's each way. Humber Bridge & Severn Bridge are one way payment only.

Also agree on fuel savings but i was expecting it to be a tad cheaper.

Re: Golden Ears Bridge
 

If it's a dollar a month to rent the transponder as Auld yin says then it's $3.75 for the first crossing each month and $2.75 each additional crossing.:sneaky:
