So it would appear that you are a believer in user fees with the assumed proviso that they aren'too onerous.
I agree and applying this logic more universally we should also apply equally modest fees to hospital emerg visits, garbage collection in 905 as well as 416, bicycle lane tolls etc etc
I can't tell if you were being sarcastic or not.
We do apply the user fees to garbage collection in the 416. If you wish to throw away a lot of garbage then you have to pay for a larger bin. It's been ages since I looked at any of my household bills, but I believe it's a yearly or monthly fee for the bin.
Emerg visits are free and should stay free (for obvious reasons), but we do already charge for ambulance rides do we not? We also charge you for the luxury of a private room if you have to stay in the hospital for the night (or several nights).
Charging tolls for bike lanes is counter-intuitive because it has been established that Toronto would be better off if more people were on bicycles.
Charging a toll to get into Toronto works. And also for Simon.. Torontonians would pay the toll just like everybody else. If we went to Square One in Mississauga, and came back on the toll highway, we'd have to pay just as much as you. We'd likely end up paying less because we didn't make the commute everyday, but that's fair. Those who use the highway the most should pay the most, period.
