407 ETR was brought to the province of Ontario with a thought of easing traffic on already over congested highways. Great idea to build a toll highway and it would definitely work if pricing was lower. Today we compared some of pricing of highway 407 vs our friends south of the border famous interstate I-90 and Florida's Turnpike Enterprise.
Below is a comparison chart for charges you can expect while traveling on 407 and charges you'd be paying on i-90 Interstate. If you wish you can try and calculate yourself, 407 calculator can be found here I-90 calculator can be found here and Florida's Turnpike Enterprise calculator can be found here.

Pricing comparison was made on Oct. 7, 2011

Today we recommend taking I-90 next time driving through NY State - it is not expensive at all !!!.
For travelers from United States or other provinces we recommend taking alternative routes: 403, QEW, 401, 410, DVP
or any other highway that is still free or affordable in the province of Ontario.

  Comment: My uncle travelled to Ontario this summer from Ohio, not even realizing that 407 was a paid highway he went back home, few weeks later he received a bill for approx. $20. He called asking what this is about, I explained, he laughed at the amount. So, for the out of province travellers (and USA), you will be required to pay for using 407
