It is quite remarkable that a bridge can support such high traffic levels with such a high toll, which implies that even with the high toll, it is superior to the alternatives in the eyes of people who use it.
A bridge connects Copenhagen [in Denmark] and Malmo [in Sweden], and now the price is higher:…the basic price for a one-way car journey across the bridge has been jacked up to 510 Danish kroner, or £58. For the largest vans, it is the equivalent of £218.Research by Sydsvenskan, a regional newspaper in southern Sweden, suggests this is by far the most expensive bridge toll on the planet, costing about twice as much as its nearest rivals in Japan and Canada…Despite the vehicle toll, the total number of people crossing the Oresund by car, train or ferry hit a record 38 million last year, equivalent to about 105,000 trips a day. A one-way railway journey between central Copenhagen and Malmo typically costs only £13.
