  1. When you leave PEI by the bridge at Borden you pay a toll ($44?). The toll is per vehicle, no matter how many are in it. There is only a toll when you leave the island, not when arriving. This cuts down on the cost of administration. I believe when the bridge replaced the ferry, they established a toll rate based on the average cost of the ferry ride for the vehicle and a certain number of passengers. The ferry price was in each direction, but the bridge only charges when leaving so they had to adjust for that.

    The bridge is an alternative means of traveling to and from the island and replaced only one of the ferry services (at least from May to December). The ferry price is $69 for most passenger vehicles (including all passengers) and is only charged when you leave the island. For as long as I can remember, ferry fees have been charged only upon departure. The bridge toll is $45 when you leave.

     

    You may be right about only paying in one direction, although I seem to recall paying both ways at Borden. I also recall that there was a charge per passenger plus the vehicle. I have only taken the remaining ferry at Woods Island once and cant recall the cost.

    I hate to admit this but Pa is right again. When the ferry was owned by CN Rail and known as CN Marine they were more than happy to take your money at Borden and Cape Tormentine. As a cost cutting measure the ticket booths were taken out of Tormintine sometime after the CN Marine split from CN Rail and became known as Marine Atlantic. I worked in Borden for a summer and as an employee I got on free but I still had to pay for my vehicle.

  2. I have a cache that I am trying to unarchive but when I try to edit the listing this is what I get

     

    "Sorry. This listing has been locked by an administrator and you cannot edit it. If you believe this is in error please contact the web site."

     

    I have tried e-mailing a reviewer and recieved no response. Can a listing that is locked be unlocked and was I wrong to expect a reply from a reviewer?

  3. Hey BuS RiDeR you did a good job on this cache. I had a great time hiking into it. Don't become discouraged if it is not logged for extended periods of time, check some of the near by caches sometimes months will go by without a find
