And how do they propose to track this? Transponders? So they are going to know where their cattle are 24 hours per day. This is also not very efficient as they would have to collect the money from each and every citizen. Here's an idea, how about just putting a tax on gas (I know, I come up with these brilliant ideas every once in a while). That way the more gas you use (in other words the farther you drive) the more in road 'pricing' you pay. This is automatic and also much more efficient a collection structure since gas stations are already collecting from those citizens. Why reinvent the wheel here?

We all know that government jobs are way overpriced compared to the public sector. Why pay someone $30 per hour collecting these road pricing fees when they can be paid to the gas jockeys at a much more efficient price.

I know all these government folks need to provide jobs for their families and friends but it is time they stop being so selfish and get their noses out of the troughs

Seems like a great idea to me. Reduce property and gas taxes and move to a user pay system. That puts me in control and puts the money directly where it's needed. Collection, in this high tech age, could be easily done. The current system is broken and needs to be fixed.

I am extremely angry with any more road tax we are already paying triple for gas what it should be and now we got to pay to drive the new Port Mann bridge where does it end I am a senior living on less than $700 a month and if I don't have the money I go without translink should do the same and make fair evaders pay their share.

Do busses get taxed this way too? Seems they use the roads.

But we already have road pricing! We pay gas taxes, carbon taxes, ICBC insurance and property taxes, not to mention parking fees. The problem is that most of that taxation does not go to transportation. However the main problem is that governments at all levels just spend too much, try to do too much at the same time, and are terrible financial managers.

Right now most people are maxed out from too many taxes and fees from all levels of government and their agencies. Tie for a BIG pause.

I guess Dianne thought she got some artificial intelligence when she dyed her hair Blonde. What a stupid idea. I thought the 17 cent per litre gasoline tax was an easily collected road tax? Why a Carbon Tax ( includes Hospitals,Schools,Public Institutions) of $2 billion that is then redistributed to Private Companies such as the Alberta company of Encana which received $40million and no $$ to Tanslink.
G.Campbell made a deal to demolish the pefectly still useable TOLL FREE Port Mann bridge so the P2P investor/builder of the new bridge would get a guaranteed profit of 8% ROI.The new $2.46 BILLION must be paid for by the Users as was the Lions Gate Bridgewhich had tolls for 26 Years ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Mann_Bridge ).
We have zero Skytrain on the North Shore and paid our tolls.The rest of the provincial taxpayers should not now subsidize those south of the Fraser residents who chose to live there for cheap Housing.These commuters will save 1.5hrs /day on Commute time and Car idling gas costs and should pay for that benefit ( user pay via a Bridge Toll))
