But the fact remains that the Peace Bridge is not used by everyone. Many Calgarians will never set foot on it, but yet had to pay for it.
And for someone who doesn't work or live downtown, there is a cost associated with using the Peace Bridge. It costs money to move around, even for transit and there is a time cost in going downtown just to walk on the bridge.
That bridge was built for the people who live or work downtown, but everyone else had to pay for it too.
