Liberal party is promising to cap Metro Vancouver bridge tolls as part of its re-election campaign platform, while the NDP says they will eliminate tolls entirely. The Liberals unveiled a pledge Sunday that said if they are re-elected, motorists won’t have to pay more than $500 a year to cross the region’s toll bridges. And at the NDP’s campaign launch in Surrey Sunday, NDP leader John Horgan said if elected, the NDP would eliminate the toll on the Port Mann bridge and the Golden Ears bridge altogether. The bridge toll idea could be a vote-getter in commuter ridings south of the Fraser River. Drivers have already been detouring around the Port Mann to try to avoid the tolls since the $3.3-billion bridge and highway project opened in 2012.
