Unexpectedly high tolls

dr_whomI've had to drive on the Express Toll Route 407 through Toronto's suburbs a few times in the past couple of months. It's the type of toll road where there's no booths or gates; they just photograph your license plate and send you a bill in the mail later.
I just got the bill.
Apparently a round trip on the ETR from Route 404 to Ninth Line and back costs $16.30. That's about equal to US$13.25, for a total round-trip distance of 22.8 km.
On the New York Thruway and the Mass Pike, that amount of money will get you about 400 km. So I was kind of taken aback to get a bill in the mail for $55 for just a few round trips to the doctor's office.
Next time I think I'll try to find an alternate route.
