Driving through Ontario’s 407 ETR can feel like a toll road rollercoaster—your wallet might get lighter just thinking about it! There’s been a lot of talk about how much more expensive the 407 ETR is compared to the New York Thruway. But just how much more? Let’s break it down.
If you’re hitting the 407 ETR during peak hours, you’re looking at around 71.26 cents per kilometer. So, for a 100-kilometer trip, that’s about $71.26 CAD. Meanwhile, over on the New York Thruway, you’re only shelling out about $1.45 USD for a similar distance.
When you do the math, the 407 ETR ends up being nearly 49 times more expensive than the New York Thruway for a 100-kilometer trip. It’s a shocking comparison, especially for those of us watching our spending.
Sure, there are factors like road maintenance, traffic management, and possibly even the convenience factor of avoiding congestion. Still, the sheer difference in cost can be quite an eye-opener!
