How much toll?
published: Sunday | September 4, 2005

A GLEANER-commissioned survey of some 600 Portmore drivers, conducted between August 20 and 21 by Johnson Survey Research Ltd., showed that when motorists were asked what was the most they would be willing to pay to use the new causeway, the most frequent answer was $30. The average of all the responses was just under $31. The poll, with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.5 per cent, also showed that 55 per cent of drivers from Jamaica's youngest and fastest-growing city are now in favour of the Portmore leg of Highway 2000.

Some 37 per cent or 222 of the respondents in the poll live in the Greater Portmore area.
