Part 1,

Sorry Werner, but you explained the problem correctly when you stated "When used wisely..."

The fact of the matter is that tolling in the lower mainland has not been uses wisely simply because the BC Liberal government has refused to engage the residents of the area with the facts.  They have tried to distance themselves by throwing more responsibility on TRANSLINK, who have been handicapped by a lack of funding and poor management due to it's BC Liberal demanded corporate CEO structure..  In the BC Liberal effort to carry no blame leading into an election, the BC Liberals have ignored their responsibility to provide leadership and funding to develop a cohesive transportation plan to lead BC into this new century, or "To use wisely..."

Placed in the context of the upcoming election, you have attempted but missed the point.  This election is not about reducing tolls, and which party will gain the most public support by reducing tolls the most......
