I ultimately don't give a fuck, I use the bridge less than 10 times a month. I don't even think twice about trying to re-route myself over the patullo, even if it might be just as feasible.
What does upset me is all these people saying "Toll every bridge in the region, that's more fair".
FUCK YOU. In your eyes im sure that does seem more fare, yet what you don't see is the fact that I spend my days crossing the 2nd narrows which is an ancient ass bridge, that now is backed up every fucking day because of how easily cars flow over the new port mann and through the lake stretch. I never used to deal with any traffic before this construction.
And the other most used crossing of mine is that ridiculous heap of shit 3 lane bridge, called the lions gate.
When I can get a bridge with atleast 4 lanes, then you can feel free to toll it. Until then just shut the fuck up, cause fairness is all a matter of perspective.

lol, guy, read his post carefully - he's talking about the increase. He's already paying $240 a month. Extra 15 cents per crossing, 30 cents per day, 20 days a month, is 6 MORE dollars.
Also, I understand it's a rant (and I'd be pretty angry too if I had to sit in second-narrows traffic daily), but you aren't making any points. All you did there was, in all honesty, just bitch.
Vancouver is fucked, no matter how you look at it. Traffic sucks, and the best way to fix it, was to give more funding, but nobody wanted to do it because Translink is a shitshow. So what should we do, to quell your anger? Prohibit certain license plates from driving on certain days, ala China? Toll every bridge, tunnel, intersection?
Again, I understand your anger, but venting on a discussion forum without any actual discussion just makes you seem like an entitled ass.
I will agree with you however, with the Lions Gate part. Fuck that bridge.
