Encouraging them to send out deliveries at 3am isn't going to work when you have places like Staples, Future Shop and most other 9-9 stores closed at night. Hell, drive through any industrial/warehouse park in the Lower Mainland at 3 in the morning and tell me how many are even open and operating, much less loading trucks to go out that same night.

In theory it's a good idea; in actual practice, it's terrible.

Something I just thought of... if I already have a transponder for the Golden Ears Bridge, will it be compatible with the Port Mann, or will I be stuck having two god awful looking transponders on my windshield just so I can cross two different bridges?

As a side note, I wonder how much it would cost to get a taxi licence for my car... lol
Won't it be fun to work 9am - 9am 5 days a week? C'mon lol.

As far as transponders go, I read that they will be making it so one transponder will work for both bridges.

What does the transponder look like? Never seen one before. I assumed it was small and inconspicuous.
