Over the past few months, my tolerance for the folks over at the 407 has severely dwindled. They own a highway, they know it's convenient, they've lost their minds - and my business. I like to call it the Rogers Syndrome. Rogers has no idea how to treat their customers and neither do the greedy misers over at the 407. I used to travel daily on the ETR from the 400 to the 410 and back; but not anymore. The price for that trip has gradually increased over the years, but when I looked at my last statement, that trip now costs $5.03... EACH WAY. Um, earth to Matilda?
Last Friday, my protest began. Also, I happened to be going to Niagara on the weekend, and I would have normally taken the 67.7km journey on the ETR, but I didn't. In two days of taking the back roads to work and not taking the 407 to Niagara and back, I have saved $45.78!!! À la Lewis Black, 'let me repeat that': I have saved $45.78!!! To put that in perspective, I could buy enough groceries to last me a week.
I'm going to keep an ongoing tab of money that I'm not paying to the ETR and will update this section regularly... stay tuned!
