Tolls
Tolls are paid only when exiting Prince Edward Island; the toll rate as of July 2011 is C$44.25 for a two-axle automobile and C$7.25 for each additional axle. Motorcycles are charged C$17.75.
While pedestrians and cyclists are not permitted to cross, a shuttle service is available. The shuttle service was free of charge prior to 2006, but the shuttle service has charged C$4.25 per pedestrian or C$8.25 per cyclist since January 1, 2006. The fare is only applied when leaving Prince Edward Island (i.e., westbound).
The other major Northumberland Strait crossing, Wood Islands Ferry from Wood Islands, Prince Edward Island to Caribou, Nova Scotia, currently only assesses its C$66.00 per car fare when exiting Prince Edward Island as well, with a charge of $17.00 per pedestrian adult, $40.00 per motorcycle, and $20.00 per bicycle. As the charges are only for exiting PEI regardless of point of leaving, travellers entering the island on the bridge and exiting on the ferry or vice versa only need pay for one of the links.

Famous quotes containing the word tolls:
“No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main.... Any man’s death diminishes me because I am involved in Mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.”
—John Donne (c. 1572–1631)
