Highway 407 in Canada was one of the first toll roads in the world to do without toll booths entirely. The highway makes use entirely of electronic devices to levy a toll. A bill is subsequently sent in the mail to the owner of the vehicle. Anyone who cheats and doesn’t pay will not be able to renew his license.

For ultimate convenience, regular users of the toll road can purchase a transponder, a tiny electronic device which is mounted on the windshield of the vehicle. An electronic sensor reads the registration number of the transponder on entrance and exit form the toll road, and instantly tabulates the miles traveled and the toll incurred. A running total of toll expenses are maintained for each account and a bill is sent out at the end of every month.

If a car does not have a transponder, a state of the art number plate recognition system photographs the back license plate. Overhead video cameras photograph the plate from 4 different directions with appropriate lighting. The car is again photographed on exit; the travel distance is determined and a bill is tabulated and sent to the owner of the vehicle. Canada and the US has mutual agreements honoring this type of collection and Americans refusing to pay their bill in Canada will not be able to get their American license plates renewed.

The cost for vehicles having a transponder is less expensive than the cost for vehicles charged by the license recognition system. Furthermore, heavier vehicles are charged considerably less per kilometer than lighter vehicle. This has an interesting bearing on limousine versus taxi transportation costs.

Whereas all limousines have transponders, very few taxi cabs do. As a result, it is more expensive for taxis than limousines to travel on 407. So when taxis versus limousines are making pickups along highways adjacent to 407, they are more likely to take the local road. In fact, over 90% of taxis taking fares to Toronto International Airport use the regular route. While using the regular route saves toll charges, the longer ride raises the price on the taxi meter which charges by travel time as well as distance. So the taxi ride to the airport takes longer and the cost of a taxi ride to the airport frequently exceeds the limousine cost.

A comparison of the limo versus taxi ride cost from Markham or Burlington to Toronto International airport illustrates the savings that travelers can get when using a limo to ride to the airport. The airport limo fare to Toronto Airport from these cities is: $55-$65 and $65-$85 respectively. A Markham airport taxi,ride can run more than $75 and a Burlington airport taxi ride can run more than $85 dollars. The rather startling conclusion, customers can frequently get a nicer and less expensive ride to the airport by using a limousine.
