It varies since it's not regular, if you include that then call it $0-$80 extra on top of personal, depending on the month, depends if I am travelling to states/pearson airport/etc.

The problem with markham is the city planners didn't plan the roads well enough to allow for decent expansion.

west end is for the most part a better layout.


I have zero issues, 407 and I cross markham end to end in like 3-4 minutes


And it'll take you 45 mins from the north of Markham to reach the 407.

I drive Mississauga and Markham on a daily basis. Markham traffic is awful! That 404 is a mess!


wat?

it takes me like 2 mins to get to 407.

Also how does driving from Mississauga to warden/407 give you any sort of idea what ALL of Markham is like? Sound reasoning, hey guys I was on 403 by hurontario, THEREFORE ALL MISSISSAUGA TRAFFIC IS HORRIBLE, WORST IN COUNTRY.


I do some shopping in Markham in the evenings. I do some shopping during lunch time. All in Markham. And it's god awful.

And I call your B.S. on the 2 mins! You're probably right next to the 407. All north-south major roads are a fucking mess in Markham. Woodbine, Warden, Leslie... they're all crap in the morning, lunch and evening. And don't get me started on the disaster which is Hwy 7!!!


So you base your entire traffic argument on the stretch of road between Leslie - Warden along highway 7 (which is currently under construction and is the busiest place of the whole city)...this is how all of markham is?

Got it, very insightful,


Just got back from a lunch at east beaver creek via hwy 7. Took us 30 mins. to get there from Warden. For reference: 35mins. I go Warden to Etobicoke!!!

And there was only a small section around Warden under construction. From Woodbine to East Beaver was no construction. Just a mess of a traffic jam. Go Markham... NOT!

Fucking Markham hwy 7. What a disaster! Damn driver was too cheap to take 407 too.

Right cuz all of Markham revolves around the 407.

If you have to commute using the 407 and pay for it yourself, it can get a bit pricey in a hurry.

Markham Rd to 404, twice a day during peak times, is 9 bucks a day. Almost 200 a month.

Agreed! The 407 isn't a good measure of traffic in a particular city. Only about 20% of people in a given city will use it.

What I do use to measure a city is the non-toll highway(s) ( one in Markham, 3 in Mississauga) going through a city and the major arteries.

I just came back from an awful experience on hwy 7 in Markham-Richmond Hill. Good thing it was one of those monthly birthday affairs, which we usually take about 2 hour lunches.

Even Mississauga's Hurontario-Burnhamthorpe or Hurontario-Dundas traffic is nothing compared to what I just went through. 5.1km took 30mins!!!!


Edited by Just A Troll (06/24/16 02:02 PM)
Edit Reason: 30mins instead of 35.

Markham's traffic is mostly along highway 7, which has the 407 as a great alternative. Great planning!!!

Perhaps you didn't read correctly! I'm not complaining. I'm saying your $40-$60 that you use "all the time" so you can cross Markham in 2 mins is full of shit!

I'm using my high $200s as a reference of how you're full of shit!

I use 407 weekly, just because I don't depend on it daily doesn't make it any less of an alternative.

I don't need to cross Markham daily because I am not a dumbass that lives in Mississauga and commutes across the GTA to Markham for work. My commute to work is traffic free and less than 30 mins on non toll roads...

LMAO @ judging markham traffic by hwy 7, a main street that has hardcore construction right now but otherwise is like what, 8 lanes wide? nah that doesn't move traffic.

also how is 407 NOT a viable option? do people in new York say ah nah, can't take that bridge, there's a toll, let me drive alllll the way around the state; Brooklyn is a shitty place to live because tolls.

you guys high today or something? lolol

It has everything to do with this. do you see people in NY not using roads or bridges due to tolls? so why the ass wouldn't you use the 407? too expensive and welfare doesn't cover it?

I said it's not good for metrics. You can't use the 407 as a measure of a city's traffic congestion. The reason because less than 20% of the population actually use it.

So when you compare markham traffic vs. Mississauga, the 407 can't really be used in that calculation.

But the biggest reason is because Risky is the only Markhamite that uses it to cross the city in 2 mins. Everyone else is stuck on hwy 7 wishing they were Risky.

LMAO @ judging markham traffic by hwy 7, a main street that has hardcore construction right now but otherwise is like what, 8 lanes wide? nah that doesn't move traffic.

also how is 407 NOT a viable option? do people in new York say ah nah, can't take that bridge, there's a toll, let me drive alllll the way around the state; Brooklyn is a shitty place to live because tolls.

you guys high today or something? lolol


I said it's not good for metrics. You can't use the 407 as a measure of a city's traffic congestion. The reason because less than 20% of the population actually use it.

So when you compare markham traffic vs. Mississauga, the 407 can't really be used in that calculation.

But the biggest reason is because Risky is the only Markhamite that uses it to cross the city in 2 mins. Everyone else is stuck on hwy 7 wishing they were Risky.


why not tho? if the city has made infrastructure to accommodate traffic but people choose not to use it, does it mean that the city is a traffic cluster fuck? no, it's the people who are the cluster fucks.

even still we are judging this on highway 7; again a street that under construction with 6 lanes wide plus two diamond lanes and use that (in it's current state) to determine markhams traffic congestion? sumtingwong.

the idiots sure outed themselves in this thread.

Apparently perfectly fine toll roads/bridges are not allowed to be used in real life as we should rot in construction zone traffic. Also great analogy with toll bridges in states it's the exact same idea, these idiots obviously can't include them as part of infrastructure because toll and would drive around bridge for an hour because something something something babble fuck logic. lol

407 aint cheap and adds up fast! If Vas has 40-60$ bill then it's barely used in a month.

Can't compare tolls in states to 407. We all take that interstate in Buffalo to go to walden galleria and pay a buck. Nothing costs a dollar on 407

Ya great example of a toll system in a different country that's pennies on the dollar by comparison and covers the entire state.

Troll agreeing with the complete dumbass example simply because it's in support of his troll vortex.

cause im really gonna take 407 to get to markville mall to the cluster fuck that is mcCowan northbound to get there.

when i can just blast across major mack or 16th doing 80-90kmh. then head down kennedy (again avoid mcCowan which is fucked N and S lately), turn left at the tracks where the side street is just north of hwy 7 which avoid that shitshow and be in front of markville's east side just like that.

407 for perhaps rush hour instead of 407 sure, or to go west end w/o using 401. i guess east too but rarely go out to buttfuck nowheresville.

how are those ESL classes going for you?

also, by comparison, 407 isn't that much more expensive as some of the toll roads in the states. Fort bend parkway in Houston for example is $0.53/mile where as 407 is $0.39/km.

I await your nonsense response with no facts.

Most of CSI Ontario only knows shit around buffalo; anywhere outside of that is littered with tolls, they aren't like 407 but they aren't pennies on the dollar. Last time I crossed Golden Gate Bridge on SAn Francisco it was 7 each way or so.

So shut the fuck up \:\)
