Golden Ears Bridge
Holy moley, $4 to cross the new bridge in Pitt Meadows, Vancouver?
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).

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

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

Re: Golden Ears Bridge
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.
