QuoteCross over to PEI on the ferry than come back on the bridge.....it's cheaper. The ferry is free going over and to return on the bridge....$45. The other way.... would be free on the bridge but $75 to return on the ferry.

This is a bit of a change.  I recall the bridge and the ferry being within about $5 of each other back in 2009.

Bridge toll in 2009 was $42.50 and the ferry....$68 ($63 + $5 fuel surcharge)......at least on the bridge there was no fuel charge!

As long as I can recall, they've never been close. The NS ferry was always much longer than NB so it was always more expensive.

Perhaps my memory's a bit fuzzy then...

ghYHZ, some of those photos shot in low-light conditions look pretty impressively clear. What do you use for camera equipment?
"Officer, I'm always careful to drive the speed limit no matter where I am and that's what I was doin'." Said "No, you weren't," she said, "Yes, I was." He said, "Madam, I just clocked you at 22 MPH," and she said "That's the speed limit," he said "No ma'am, that's the route numbah!"  - Gary Crocker

Isn't that a case of oversignage and redundant signage rendundancy?

I count 3 large signs, 4 medium signs and 1 shield assembly in the same picture (200 metres). Two of the BBS are Coastal Drive welcome signs...

Thanks....I'm quite pleased with the way they turned out.

Camera:  Nothing special.....just a Canon Rebel T2i with a standard lens on auto settings but I did use the ships railing and a seatback to steady the camera.
