      Roads are basically free to use. It will eventually mean more wear and tear for the government to pay for, though.

      The way you phrased that, I’d like to point out that I’m on board with transitioning away from fossil fuels, along with the vast majority of knowledgeable people.

        Roads aren’t basically free to use. Where the fuck did you come up with that?

          You must live somewhere with toll roads. They’re not a thing in Alberta. There’s not even an extra vehicle tax here. Traffic is a pure externality to someone like Encore.

          I can’t say for sure for what the whole route to wherever would look like. Like I told the other person, research on it would be welcome.
