B.C. government to eliminate tolls on two Vancouver-area bridges
PORT COQUITLAM, B.C. — British Columbia’s NDP government is eliminating tolls on two Vancouver-area bridges, effective Sept. 1.
Premier John Horgan says the tolls are unfair as others across the province who use public infrastructure like highways to commute to work aren’t hit with special charges.
The tolls are being eliminated on the Port Mann and Golden Ears bridges in time for the Labour Day weekend.
Horgan says the move will save an average commuter $1,500 a year and commercial drivers crossing a bridge at once a day at least $4,500.
