>>2019994It's more like double that, I used to drive a van commercially and Brampton to Markham would cost like $40 since it was during peak hours. Still cheaper than paying me overtime and factoring the loss of time from late or inconsistent deliveries. What shocked me is how busy it can get around 8am, you'll have 5 lanes with a constant stream of cars side by side.
>>2020047Widening works, it's the bottlenecks like you said. Maybe it's stockholm syndrome kicking in, but I don't find the 401 to be too bad of a commute if there's no major accident or snow. Major exception being around the 427 junction. The collectors gets cut off in that area and everyone has to merge into express, and the 427 dumping cars on just compounds the problem. I have a vendetta against the 403 from Hamilton Skyway to Oakville. Cops just love to pull reckless drivers over, then close every lane but 1 to impound them and cause literally 15km of stop and go traffic. That stretch has taken me 90+ minutes multiple times, in a manual car to boot.
